[PATCH v3 17/21] mm/mm_init: don't rely on memblock to get KHO scratch migratetype
From: Pratyush Yadav
Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 13:45:40 EST
From: "Pratyush Yadav (Google)" <pratyush@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently struct page init via memmap_init() or deferred_init_memmap()
only queries the migrate type from KHO for each discrete memory range.
That works currently since KHO scratch memory has a different memory
type so it is always it its own region.
An upcoming patch will add support for discovering blocks of memory with
no preservations and it will mark it as MEMBLOCK_KHO_SCRATCH to allow
allocations from them. This can lead to the bootmem KHO scratch areas to
be merged into larger free ranges. This merging breaks the selection of
migrate type.
Get rid of kho_scratch_migratetype(). Instead, let the struct page init
logic set the migratetype to MIGRATE_MOVABLE for all pages, and then
give KHO a chance to update the migrate type of its bootmem scratch
areas to MIGRATE_CMA. Since scratch areas should be a few order of
magnitues smaller than the total system memory, doing it this way is
more efficient than searching the kho_scratch array for every pageblock.
Since kho_scratch_migratetype() no longer exists, drop the migratetype
argument to memmap_init_zone_range() and deferred_init_pages().
