[PATCH 0/2] Hibernate fixes for 'Fix memmap to be initialized for the entire section'

Show all headers | View raw

Patch "arm64: mm: Fix memmap to be initialized for the entire section"
changes pfn_valid() in a way that breaks hibernate. These patches fix
hibernate, and provided struct page's are allocated for nomap pages,
can be applied before [0].

Hibernate core code belives 'valid' to mean "I can access this". It
uses pfn_valid() to test the page if the page is 'valid'.

pfn_valid() needs to be changed so that all struct pages in a numa
node have the same node-id. Currently 'nomap' pages are skipped, and
retain their pre-numa node-ids, which leads to a later BUG_ON().

These patches make hibernate's savable_page() take its escape route
via 'if (PageReserved(page) && pfn_is_nosave(pfn))'.

  arm64: mm: Mark nomap regions with the PG_reserved flag
