I think there is a problem here because memblock_set_region_node is sometimes
called with nid == MAX_NUMNODES. This means the correct node is not properly
masked in the memblock_kernel_nodemask bitmap.
E.g. in a VM test, memblock_mark_kernel_nodes with extra pr_warn calls iterates
over the following memblocks (ranges below are memblks base-(base+size)):
[ 0.000000] memblock_mark_kernel_nodes nid=64 0x00000000000000-0x00000000010000
[ 0.000000] memblock_mark_kernel_nodes nid=64 0x00000000098000-0x00000000100000
[ 0.000000] memblock_mark_kernel_nodes nid=64 0x00000001000000-0x00000001a5a000
[ 0.000000] memblock_mark_kernel_nodes nid=64 0x00000037000000-0x000000377f8000
where MAX_NUMNODES is 64 because CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=6.
The ranges above belong to node 0, but the node's bit is never marked.
With a buggy bios that marks all memory as hotpluggable, this results in a
panic, because both checks against hotpluggable bit and memblock_kernel_bitmask
(in early_mem_hotplug_init) fail, the numa regions have all been merged together
and memblock_reserve_hotpluggable is called for all memory.
With a correct bios (some part of initial memory is not hotplug-able) the kernel
can boot since the hotpluggable bit check works ok, but extra dimms on node 0
will still be allowed to be in MOVABLE_ZONE.
Actually this behaviour (being able to have MOVABLE memory on nodes with kernel
reserved memblocks) sort of matches the policy I requested in v2 :). But i
suspect that is not your intent i.e. you want memblock_kernel_nodemask_bitmap to
prevent movable reservations for the whole node where kernel has reserved
memblocks.
Is there a way to get accurate nid information for memblocks at early boot? I
suspect pfn_to_nid doesn't work yet at this stage (i got a panic when I
attempted iirc)
I used the hack below but it depends on CONFIG_NUMA, hopefully there is a
cleaner general way:
