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 <[email protected]> Cc: Will Deacon <[email protected]> Cc: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> Cc: Paul Walmsley <[email protected]> Cc: Palmer Dabbelt <[email protected]> Cc: Tony Luck <[email protected]> Cc: Fenghua Yu <[email protected]> Cc: Dave Hansen <[email protected]> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: David Hildenbrand <[email protected]> Cc: Mike Rapoport <[email protected]> Cc: Michal Hocko <[email protected]> Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <[email protected]> Cc: "Kirill A.
