[HMM 03/15] mm/unaddressable-memory: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory

From: JÃrÃme Glisse
Date: Fri Apr 21 2017 - 23:39:25 EST


HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration
from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to
device memory is explained with HMM core patch.

This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU
can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage
like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different
types of memory.

A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a
new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type.
There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type
and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new
use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with
test against the memory type.

Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when
a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum
swap file).

The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks.
First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means
the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This
allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page.

The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to
an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the
CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system
main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory,
HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory.

If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then
a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

+ * read nor write _UNADDRESSABLE memory. In this case, we do still have struct
+ * pages backing the device memory. Doing so simplifies the implementation, but
+ * it is important to remember that there are certain points at which the struct
+ * page must be treated as an opaque object, rather than a "normal" struct page.
+ * A more complete discussion of unaddressable memory may be found in
