Subject[Patch v2] mm/sparse: never partially remove memmap for early section
Date
For early sections, its memmap is handled specially even sub-section is
enabled. The memmap could only be populated as a whole.

Quoted from the comment of section_activate():

* The early init code does not consider partially populated
* initial sections, it simply assumes that memory will never be
* referenced. If we hot-add memory into such a section then we
* do not need to populate the memmap and can simply reuse what
* is already there.

While current section_deactivate() breaks this rule. When hot-remove a
sub-section, section_deactivate() would depopulate its memmap. The
consequence is if we hot-add this subsection again, its memmap never get
proper populated.

We can reproduce the case by following steps:

1. Hacking qemu to allow sub-section early section

diff --git a/hw/i386/pc.c b/hw/i386/pc.c
index 51b3050d01..c6a78d83c0 100644
--- a/hw/i386/pc.c
+++ b/hw/i386/pc.c
@@ -1010,7 +1010,7 @@ void pc_memory_init(PCMachineState *pcms,
}

machine->device_memory->base =
- ROUND_UP(0x100000000ULL + x86ms->above_4g_mem_size, 1 * GiB);
+ 0x100000000ULL + x86ms->above_4g_mem_size;

if (pcmc->enforce_aligned_dimm) {
/* size device region assuming 1G page max alignment per slot */

2. Bootup qemu with PSE disabled and a sub-section aligned memory size

Part of the qemu command would look like this:

sudo x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \
--enable-kvm -cpu host,pse=off \
-m 4160M,maxmem=20G,slots=1 \
-smp sockets=2,cores=16 \
-numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-1 -numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=2-3 \
-machine pc,nvdimm \
-nographic \
-object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=8G \
-device nvdimm,id=vm0,memdev=mem0,node=0,addr=0x144000000,label-size=128k

3. Re-config a pmem device with sub-section size in guest

ndctl create-namespace --force --reconfig=namespace0.0 --mode=devdax --size=16M

Then you would see the following call trace:
