Subject: [PATCH v6 4/7] mm/memory_hotplug: Support memmap_on_memory when memmap is not aligned to pageblocks

From: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2023 13:32:29 +0530

Currently, memmap_on_memory feature is only supported with memory block
sizes that result in vmemmap pages covering full page blocks. This is
because memory onlining/offlining code requires applicable ranges to be
pageblock-aligned, for example, to set the migratetypes properly.

This patch helps to lift that restriction by reserving more pages than
required for vmemmap space. This helps the start address to be page
block aligned with different memory block sizes. Using this facility
implies the kernel will be reserving some pages for every memoryblock.
This allows the memmap on memory feature to be widely useful with
different memory block size values.

For ex: with 64K page size and 256MiB memory block size, we require 4
pages to map vmemmap pages, To align things correctly we end up adding a
reserve of 28 pages. ie, for every 4096 pages 28 pages get reserved.
