Follow up of RFC patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/a3bf84c4-8f35-f273-145c-55928a06f332@quicinc.com/T/#m219937b1acdd40318bbe90ab39f187804775eb74 (local) On arm64 we set max_pfn at boot in arch/arm64/mm/init.c. If you hotplug in memory after booting up, max_pfn is not updated. This breaks diagnostic functions executed from user space like read_page_owner(): https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.14.7/source/mm/page_owner.c#L472 or kpageflags_read() (see how get_max_dump_pfn() is used): https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.14.7/source/fs/proc/page.c#L47 Thus, this patch updates max_pfn and max_low_pfn in arm64's arch_add_memory() function, mirroring what is updatated during boot: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.14.7/source/arch/arm64/mm/init.c#L448 Quick reference for David's Acked-by, with a follow-up discussion on max_low_pfn: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/a3bf84c4-8f35-f273-145c-55928a06f332@quicinc.com/T/#m7d30b3afa632a4fa836f5fe55f4ee8e7bbc83e5d (local) https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/a3bf84c4-8f35-f273-145c-55928a06f332@quicinc.com/T/#m0d0e509375af1504d25451d079c5cbd6e7aa513b (local) Sudarshan Rajagopalan (1): arm64: mm: update max_pfn after memory hotplug arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) -- 2.7.4 _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
