Hi mm folks,

Just a quick question, what is the expected behavior of memblock_reserve
a region that is not added to memblock with memblock_add?

I'm unable to find any documentation about memblock_reserve in comments and
boot-time-mm, but as per my understanding to the code, this should be a
legit usage?
Yes, memblock allows reserving memory that was not added to memblock with
memblock_add().
I think arch/platform specific code should fix this bug, like,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
//for loongson64
memblock_set_node(0, 1ULL << 44, &memblock.reserved, 0);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

or maybe memblock provide something like memblock_reserve_node
Hi pei,

Can you test the following patch to see if it fixes this bug?

I do not think this fix set the right nid, ONLY arch/platform know that
nid

int __meminit early_pfn_to_nid(unsigned long pfn)
{
static DEFINE_SPINLOCK(early_pfn_lock);
int nid;

spin_lock(&early_pfn_lock);
nid = __early_pfn_to_nid(pfn,
&early_pfnnid_cache);
if (nid < 0)
//!!!first_online_node MAY NOT be the node the pfn belong to!!!
nid = first_online_node;

spin_unlock(&early_pfn_lock);

return
nid;
}


Okay, I don't think this bug is caused by commit 61167ad5fecd ("mm: pass nid to reserve_bootmem_region()"),

because even if you revert this commit, it will still get nid by early_pfn_to_nid(). Did I get that right?


In practical we run into uninitialized nid of reserved block problem, should
we fix it
in our usage, or on memblock side?
Apparently it's a bug in memblock :(

If you revert 61167ad5fecd ("mm: pass nid to reserve_bootmem_region()")
does the issue disappear?
Yes, I git bisect this commit.

But I don't think it is a bug in memblock. IMO, memblock_reserve under
NUMA set nid of reserved region to MAX_NUMNODES, which is the point
that cause the "memblock_get_region_node from memmap_init_reserved_pages "
passing a invalid node id(aka MAX_NUMNODES) to "reserver_bootmem_region
-> init_reserved_page -> early_pfn_to_nid". If arch-specific code DOES NOT
initialize the nid of reserved region(only it know that), or the reserved
region NOT within a memblock added by memblock_add, memblock can not
give a valid node id to the reserved region. Commit 61167ad5fecd ("mm: pass nid to
reserve_bootmem_region()") just reveals the embarrassment case by an
out of bound memory access.

Thanks

It caused memory-reserved region "0x0-0x1fffff" without valid node id
in "memblock_get_region_node" from "memmap_init_reserved_pages", lead to
"reserve_bootmem_region-> init_reserved_page -> early_pfn_to_nid()"
accessing "node_data" out of bound.

To fix this bug, we should remove unnecessary memory block reservation.

+. no need to reserve 0x0-0x1fffff below kernel loading address, since
it is not registered by "memblock_add_node"

+. no need to reserve 0x0-0xfff for exception handling if it is not
registered by "memblock_add" either.
