Subject: [PATCH v2] dax/kmem: Pass valid argument to memory_group_register_static
Date:   Wed, 21 Jun 2023 16:04:11 +0530

memory_group_register_static takes maximum number of pages as the argument
while dev_dax_kmem_probe passes total_len (in bytes) as the argument.

IIUC, I don't see any crash/panic impact as such. As,
memory_group_register_static just set the max_pages limit which is used in
auto_movable_zone_for_pfn to determine the zone.

which might cause these condition to behave differently,

This will be true always so jump will happen to kernel_zone
	if (!auto_movable_can_online_movable(NUMA_NO_NODE, group, nr_pages))
		goto kernel_zone;
---
kernel_zone:
	return default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(nid, pfn, nr_pages);

---

Here, In below, zone_intersects compare range will be larger as nr_pages
will be higher (derived from total_len passed in dev_dax_kmem_probe).

static struct zone *default_kernel_zone_for_pfn(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn,
		unsigned long nr_pages)
{
	struct pglist_data *pgdat = NODE_DATA(nid);
	int zid;

	for (zid = 0; zid < ZONE_NORMAL; zid++) {
		struct zone *zone = &pgdat->node_zones[zid];

		if (zone_intersects(zone, start_pfn, nr_pages))
			return zone;
	}

	return &pgdat->node_zones[ZONE_NORMAL];
}

Incorrect zone will be returned here, which in later time might cause bigger
problem.
