base/node / ACPI: Enumerate node access class for 'struct access_coordinate'

2025-11-24T09:30:04+00:00

[ Upstream commit 11270e526276ffad4c4237acb393da82a3287487 ] Both generic node and HMAT handling code have been using magic numbers to indicate access classes for 'struct access_coordinate'. Introduce enums to enumerate the access0 and access1 classes shared by the two subsystems. Update the function parameters and callers as appropriate to utilize the new enum. Access0 is named to ACCESS_COORDINATE_LOCAL in order to indicate that the access class is for 'struct access_coordinate' between a target node and the nearest initiator node. Access1 is named to ACCESS_COORDINATE_CPU in order to indicate that the access class is for 'struct access_coordinate' between a target node and the nearest CPU node.

base/node / acpi: Change 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates'

2025-11-24T09:30:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6a954e94d038f41d79c4e04348c95774d1c9337d ] Dan Williams suggested changing the struct 'node_hmem_attrs' to 'access_coordinates' [1]. The struct is a container of r/w-latency and r/w-bandwidth numbers. Moving forward, this container will also be used by CXL to store the performance characteristics of each link hop in the PCIE/CXL topology. So, where node_hmem_attrs is just the access parameters of a memory-node, access_coordinates applies more broadly to hardware topology characteristics. The observation is that seemed like an exercise in having the application identify "where" it falls on a spectrum of bandwidth and latency needs. For the tuple of read/write-latency and read/write-bandwidth, "coordinates" is not a perfect fit. Sometimes it is just conveying values in isolation and not a "location" relative to other performance points, but in the end this data is used to identify the performance operation point of a given memory-node.

drivers/base/node: fix double free in register_one_node()

2025-10-15T09:58:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0efdedfa537eb534c251a5b4794caaf72cc55869 ] When device_register() fails in register_node(), it calls put_device(&node->dev). This triggers node_device_release(), which calls kfree(to_node(dev)), thereby freeing the entire node structure. As a result, when register_node() returns an error, the node memory has already been freed. Calling kfree(node) again in register_one_node() leads to a double free. This patch removes the redundant kfree(node) from register_one_node() to prevent the double free.

base/node.c: initialize the accessor list before registering

2024-01-25T23:35:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 48b5928e18dc27e05cab3dc4c78cd8a15baaf1e5 ] The current code registers the node as available in the node array before initializing the accessor list. This makes it so that anything which might access the accessor list as a result of allocations will cause an undefined memory access. In one example, an extension to access hmat data during interleave caused this undefined access as a result of a bulk allocation that occurs during node initialization but before the accessor list is initialized. Initialize the accessor list before making the node generally available to the global system.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory

2023-06-06T14:38:22+00:00

UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine platform. There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory: 1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is very long boot time. Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable (i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point. 2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but it provides good boot time. On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted. 3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple) that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping low boot time. This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2: background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that. The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt user experience. Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be implemented later based on user's demands. Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code: - memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory. - page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page. When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation. EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted memory: - accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted. - range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range of physical addresses requires acceptance.
