Subject: [RFC PATCH 10/45] mm: page_alloc: support superpageblock resize for memory hotplug
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:20:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430202233.111010-11-riel@surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430202233.111010-1-riel@surriel.com>
From: Rik van Riel <riel@meta.com>
setup_superpageblocks() is __init-only and uses memblock_alloc_node(), so
hotplugged memory that extends a zone's span has no superpageblock
coverage. Pages in those regions would bypass superpageblock steering
entirely.
Add resize_zone_superpageblocks() which is called from
move_pfn_range_to_zone() after the zone span has been updated. It allocates
a new superpageblock array with kvmalloc_node() covering the full zone
span, copies existing superpageblocks (fixing up list head pointers), and
initializes new superpageblocks for the added range.
Use round-up division for partial pageblock counting to match
init_one_superpageblock().
ZONE_DEVICE is excluded since device pages should not participate in anti-
fragmentation steering.
