Subject: [PATCH v3] dax/kmem: Pass valid argument to memory_group_register_static
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2023 21:20:25 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230621155025.370672-1-tsahu@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
memory_group_register_static takes maximum number of pages as the argument
while dev_dax_kmem_probe passes total_len (in bytes) as the argument.
IIUC, I don't see any crash/panic impact as such. As,
memory_group_register_static just set the max_pages limit which is used in
auto_movable_zone_for_pfn to determine the zone.
which might cause these condition to behave differently,
This will be true always so jump will happen to kernel_zone
...
if (!auto_movable_can_online_movable(NUMA_NO_NODE, group, nr_pages))
goto kernel_zone;
...
kernel_zone:
return default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(nid, pfn, nr_pages);
Here, In below, zone_intersects compare range will be larger as nr_pages
will be higher (derived from total_len passed in dev_dax_kmem_probe).
...
static struct zone *default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn,
unsigned long nr_pages)
{
struct pglist_data *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
int zid;
for (zid = 0; zid < ZONE_NORMAL; zid++) {
struct zone *zone = &pgdat->node_zones[zid];
if (zone_intersects(zone, start_pfn, nr_pages))
return zone;
}
return &pgdat->node_zones[ZONE_NORMAL];
}
Incorrect zone will be returned here, which in later time might cause bigger
problem.
