[PATCH v3] mm: memblock: show all region flags in debugfs

From: Meijing Zhao

Date: Wed Sep 02 2026 - 04:00:03 EST


From: Meijing Zhao <zhaomeijing@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 493f349e38d0 ("memblock: Add flags and nid info in memblock
debugfs") made memblock_debug_show() stop after finding the first set
flag. A memblock region can carry multiple flags, so the remaining flags
are hidden from debugfs.

Walk all bits in the region flags and print every set flag separated by
"|". Keep walking beyond flagname[] so that a set flag without a known
name is reported as UNKNOWN rather than silently ignored.

Fixes: 493f349e38d0 ("memblock: Add flags and nid info in memblock debugfs")

Changes in v3:
- Rebase onto v7.3-rc1 and send the former patch 2/3 as a standalone
patch.
- Move flags and first into the reg->flags block.
- Remove the redundant flagname[j] NULL check.
- Keep the existing NONE output unchanged.
- Drop the debugfs synchronization change. As discussed during the v2
review, proper locking for runtime memblock accesses needs a broader
design and will be addressed separately.

v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20260821020910.3428585-1-zhaomeijing100@xxxxxxxxx/
