[PATCH V3 0/3] arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Tue Mar 31 2020 - 01:10:24 EST


This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory
ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages()
and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based
alocation requests.

This series applies after latest (v14) arm64 memory hot remove series
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/3/1746) on Linux 5.6.

Pending Question:

altmap_alloc_block_buf() does not have any other remaining users in the
tree after this change. Should it be converted into a static function and
it's declaration be dropped from the header (include/linux/mm.h). Avoided
doing so because I was not sure if there are any off-tree users or not.

Changes in V3:

- Dropped comment from free_hotplug_page_range() per Robin
- Modified comment in unmap_hotplug_range() per Robin
- Enabled altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() per Robin

Changes in V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/3/4/475)

- Rebased on latest hot-remove series (v14) adding P4D page table support

Changes in V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/23/12)

- Added an WARN_ON() in unmap_hotplug_range() when altmap is
provided without the page table backing memory being freed

Changes in RFC V2: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/10/21/11)

- Changed the commit message on 1/2 patch per Will
- Changed the commit message on 2/2 patch as well
- Rebased on arm64 memory hot remove series (v10)
