From: Laurent Dufour ldufour@linux.ibm.com Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2020 21:19:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: replace memmap_context by meminit_context
Patch series "mm: fix memory to node bad links in sysfs", v3.
Sometimes, firmware may expose interleaved memory layout like this:
Early memory node ranges node 1: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000011fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000120000000-0x000000014fffffff] node 1: [mem 0x0000000150000000-0x00000001ffffffff] node 0: [mem 0x0000000200000000-0x000000048fffffff] node 2: [mem 0x0000000490000000-0x00000007ffffffff]
In that case, we can see memory blocks assigned to multiple nodes in sysfs:
$ ls -l /sys/devices/system/memory/memory21 total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node1 -> ../../node/node1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 node2 -> ../../node/node2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 online -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_device -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 phys_index drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Aug 24 05:27 power -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 removable -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 state lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Aug 24 05:25 subsystem -> ../../../../bus/memory -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:25 uevent -r--r--r-- 1 root root 65536 Aug 24 05:27 valid_zones
The same applies in the node's directory with a memory21 link in both the node1 and node2's directory.
This is wrong but doesn't prevent the system to run. However when later, one of these memory blocks is hot-unplugged and then hot-plugged, the system is detecting an inconsistency in the sysfs layout and a BUG_ON() is raised:

This has been seen on PowerPC LPAR.
The root cause of this issue is that when node's memory is registered, the range used can overlap another node's range, thus the memory block is registered to multiple nodes in sysfs.
There are two issues here:
(a) The sysfs memory and node's layouts are broken due to these multiple links
(b) The link errors in link_mem_sections() should not lead to a system panic.
To address (a) register_mem_sect_under_node should not rely on the system state to detect whether the link operation is triggered by a hot plug operation or not. This is addressed by the patches 1 and 2 of this series.
Issue (b) will be addressed separately.
This patch (of 2):
The memmap_context enum is used to detect whether a memory operation is due to a hot-add operation or happening at boot time.
Make it general to the hotplug operation and rename it as meminit_context.
There is no functional change introduced by this patch
