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 on 5.8-rc1. 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) RFC V1: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/28/32) Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.mari...@arm.com> Cc: Will Deacon <w...@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutl...@arm.com> Cc: Paul Walmsley <paul.walms...@sifive.com> Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <pal...@dabbelt.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.l...@intel.com> Cc: Fenghua Yu <fenghua...@intel.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.han...@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <l...@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <pet...@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mi...@redhat.com> Cc: David Hildenbrand <da...@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Rapoport <r...@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mho...@suse.com> Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <wi...@infradead.org> Cc: "Kirill A.
