[PATCH v3 10/12] mm: support section-unaligned ZONE_DEVICE memory ranges

From: Dan Williams
Date: Thu Jan 19 2017 - 17:24:16 EST


The initial motivation for this change is persistent memory platforms
that, unfortunately, align the pmem range on a boundary less than a full
section (64M vs 128M), and may change the alignment from one boot to the
next. A secondary motivation is the arrival of prospective ZONE_DEVICE
users that want devm_memremap_pages() to map PCI-E device memory ranges
to enable peer-to-peer DMA.

Currently the nvdimm core injects padding when 'pfn' (struct page
mapping configuration) instances are created. However, not all users of
devm_memremap_pages() have the opportunity to inject such padding. Users
of the memmap=ss!nn kernel command line option can trigger the following
failure with unaligned parameters like "memmap=0xfc000000!8G":

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 558 at kernel/memremap.c:300 devm_memremap_pages+0x3b5/0x4c0
devm_memremap_pages attempted on mixed region [mem 0x200000000-0x2fbffffff flags 0x200]

Without this change a user could inadvertently lose access to nvdimm
namespaces by adding/removing other DIMMs in the platform leading to the
BIOS changing the base alignment of the namespace in an incompatible
fashion. With this support we can accommodate a BIOS changing the
namespace to any alignment provided it is >= SECTION_ACTIVE_SIZE.
