[RFC] mm/hotplug: Make get_nid_for_pfn() work with HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID

From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Thu Mar 21 2019 - 04:08:31 EST


Memory hot remove uses get_nid_for_pfn() while tearing down linked sysfs
entries between memory block and node. It first checks pfn validity with
pfn_valid_within() before fetching nid. With CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE config
(arm64 has this enabled) pfn_valid_within() calls pfn_valid().

pfn_valid() is an arch implementation on arm64 (CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID)
which scans all mapped memblock regions with memblock_is_map_memory(). This
creates a problem in memory hot remove path which has already removed given
memory range from memory block with memblock_[remove|free] before arriving
at unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes().

During runtime memory hot remove get_nid_for_pfn() needs to validate that
given pfn has a struct page mapping so that it can fetch required nid. This
can be achieved just by looking into it's section mapping information. This
adds a new helper pfn_section_valid() for this purpose. Its same as generic
pfn_valid().

This maintains existing behaviour for deferred struct page init case.

This is a preparatory patch for memory hot-remove enablement on arm64. I
will appreciate some early feedback on this approach.
