[PATCH v1] mm: inititalize struct pages when adding a section

From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Fri Jul 27 2018 - 12:55:09 EST


Right now, struct pages are inititalized when memory is onlined, not
when it is added (since commit d0dc12e86b31 ("mm/memory_hotplug: optimize
memory hotplug")).

remove_memory() will call arch_remove_memory(). Here, we usually access
the struct page to get the zone of the pages.

So effectively, we access stale struct pages in case we remove memory that
was never onlined. So let's simply inititalize them earlier, when the
memory is added. We only have to take care of updating the zone once we
know it. We can use a dummy zone for that purpose.

So effectively, all pages will already be initialized and set to
reserved after memory was added but before it was onlined (and even the
memblock is added). We only inititalize pages once, to not degrade
performance.

This will also mean that user space dump tools will always see sane
struct pages once a memblock pops up.
