Hi,
Commit 73a6e474cb37 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over
memblock regions rather that check each PFN") exposed several issues with
the memory map initialization and these patches fix those issues.
Initially there were crashes during compaction that Qian Cai reported back
in April [1]. It seemed back then that the problem was fixed, but a few
weeks ago Andrea Arcangeli hit the same bug [2] and there was an additional
discussion at [3].
v3:
* use architectural zone constraints to set zone links for struct pages
corresponding to the holes
* drop implicit update of memblock.memory
* add a patch that sets pfn 0 to E820_TYPE_RAM on x86
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/):
* added patch that adds all regions in memblock.reserved that do not
overlap with memblock.memory to memblock.memory in the beginning of
free_area_init()

The first 4Kb of memory is a BIOS owned area and to avoid its allocation
for the kernel it was not listed in e820 tables as memory. As the result,
pfn 0 was never recognised by the generic memory management and it is not a
part of neither node 0 nor ZONE_DMA.
If set_pfnblock_flags_mask() would be ever called for the pageblock
corresponding to the first 2Mbytes of memory, having pfn 0 outside of
ZONE_DMA would trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);
Along with reserving the first 4Kb in e820 tables, several first pages are
reserved with memblock in several places during setup_arch(). These
reservations are enough to ensure the kernel does not touch the BIOS area
and it is not necessary to remove E820_TYPE_RAM for pfn 0.
Remove the update of e820 table that changes the type of pfn 0 and move the
comment describing why it was done to trim_low_memory_range() that reserves
the beginning of the memory.

There could be struct pages that are not backed by actual physical memory.
This can happen when the actual memory bank is not a multiple of
SECTION_SIZE or when an architecture does not register memory holes
reserved by the firmware as memblock.memory.
Such pages are currently initialized using init_unavailable_mem() function
that iterates through PFNs in holes in memblock.memory and if there is a
struct page corresponding to a PFN, the fields if this page are set to
default values and the page is marked as Reserved.
init_unavailable_mem() does not take into account zone and node the page
belongs to and sets both zone and node links in struct page to zero.
On a system that has firmware reserved holes in a zone above ZONE_DMA, for
instance in a configuration below:
# grep -A1 E820 /proc/iomem
7a17b000-7a216fff : Unknown E820 type
7a217000-7bffffff : System RAM
unset zone link in struct page will trigger
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(!zone_spans_pfn(page_zone(page), pfn), page);
because there are pages in both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_DMA (unset zone link in
struct page) in the same pageblock.
Update init_unavailable_mem() to use zone constraints defined by an
architecture to properly setup the zone link and use node ID of the
adjacent range in memblock.memory to set the node link.
Fixes: 73a6e474cb37 ("mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN")

The earlier version of these fixes had cc:stable. Was the omission
this time deliberate?

Nope, it was accidental.

So, since it never was added to memblock.memory structs, it was not
initialized by init_unavailable_mem, right?

Actually it was initialized by init_unavailable_mem() and got zone=0 and
node=0, but the DMA zone started from pfn 1, so pfn 0 was never a part of
ZONE_DMA.

The only somewhat-confusing thing is that in-between
e820__memblock_setup() and trim_low_memory_range(), we already have
memblock allocations. So [0..4095] might look like ordinary memory until
we reserve it later on.
E.g., reserve_real_mode() does a
mem = memblock_find_in_range(0, 1<<20, size, PAGE_SIZE);
...
memblock_reserve(mem, size);
set_real_mode_mem(mem);
which looks kind of suspicious to me. Most probably I am missing
something, just wanted to point that out. We might want to do such
trimming/adjustments before any kind of allocations.

You are right and it looks suspicious, but the first page is reserved at
the very beginning of x86::setup_arch() and, moreover, memblock never
allocates it (look at memblock::memblock_find_in_range_node()).
As for the range 0x1000 <-> reserve_low, we are unlikely to allocate it in
the default top-down mode. The bottom-up mode was only allocating memory
above the kernel so this would also prevent allocation of the lowest
memory, at least until the recent changes for CMA allocation:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]
That said, we'd better consolidate all the trim_some_memory() and move it
closer to the beginning of setup_arch().
I'm going to take a look at it in the next few days.

Maybe because we haven't initialized MOABLE zone info at this time.
