From f2f29da9f0d4367f6ff35e0d9d021257bb53e273 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Myrrh Periwinkle myrrhperiwinkle@qtmlabs.xyz Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2025 11:45:22 +0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86/e820: Fix handling of subpage regions when calculating nosave ranges in e820__register_nosave_regions()
While debugging kexec/hibernation hangs and crashes, it turned out that the current implementation of e820__register_nosave_regions() suffers from multiple serious issues:
- The end of last region is tracked by PFN, causing it to find holes that aren't there if two consecutive subpage regions are present
- The nosave PFN ranges derived from holes are rounded out (instead of rounded in) which makes it inconsistent with how explicitly reserved regions are handled
Fix this by:
- Treating reserved regions as if they were holes, to ensure consistent handling (rounding out nosave PFN ranges is more correct as the kernel does not use partial pages)
- Tracking the end of the last RAM region by address instead of pages to detect holes more precisely
These bugs appear to have been introduced about ~18 years ago with the very first version of e820_mark_nosave_regions(), and its flawed assumptions were carried forward uninterrupted through various waves of rewrites and renames.
