mm/cma: accept memory of multi-range CMA areas
Patch series "mm/cma: accept memory of CMA areas reserved with
memblock_reserve()", v1.
Pages of allocated CMA areas are released to the buddy allocator with
__free_pages(), which does not check for unaccepted memory.
This usually works because memblock accepts the memory it allocates.
However, multi-range CMA areas, used by hugetlb_cma, and fixed CMA areas
requested with cma=<size>@<base> are reserved with memblock_reserve() and
their memory is never accepted.
On TDX and SEV-SNP guests the first access to such a page is fatal.
To ease the backporting, each case is addressed by a separate patch:
- patch 1 accepts the memory of multi-range CMA areas
- patch 2 does the same for the fixed CMA areas
The second patch won't apply cleanly to 6.6 and 6.12, but I believe the
stable team LLMs will take care of that :)
This patch (of 2):
On systems with unaccepted memory, memblock allocations accept the
allocated range, but when cma_declare_contiguous_multi() uses open coded
allocation of multiple ranges, it reserves them with memblock_reserve()
and they are never accepted.
These pages are released to the buddy allocator by cma_activate_area()
with __free_pages() that does not check for unaccepted memory, so the
first access to such a page in a TDX or SEV-SNP guest is fatal.
Accept the memory of each range when it is reserved.
