mm, memory_hotplug: do not assume ZONE_NORMAL is default kernel zone
Heiko Carstens has noticed that he can generate overlapping zones for ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL: DMA [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000007fffffff] Normal [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000017fffffff] $ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/block_size_bytes 10000000 $ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/valid_zones DMA $ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/online $ cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/valid_zones Normal $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory5/online Normal $ cat /proc/zoneinfo Node 0, zone DMA spanned 524288 <----- present 458752 managed 455078 start_pfn: 0 <----- Node 0, zone Normal spanned 720896 present 589824 managed 571648 start_pfn: 327680 <----- The reason is that we assume that the default zone for kernel onlining is ZONE_NORMAL. This was a simplification introduced by the memory hotplug rework and it is easily fixable by checking the range overlap in the zone order and considering the first matching zone as the default one. If there is no such zone then assume ZONE_NORMAL as we have been doing so far. Fixes: "mm, memory_hotplug: do not associate hotadded memory to zones until online" Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170601083746.4924-3-mhocko@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Reported-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Tested-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Reza Arbab <arbab@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
