v2 cover mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK

Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64, don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most prominently, kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such driver-managed memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example, having kexec images located on memory not part of the firmware-provided memory map.

Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is especially relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit 7b7b27214bba ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()").

Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code when applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on arm64, making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64.

v1 -> v2:
- "memblock: improve MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG documentation" -- Added
- "memblock: add MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED to mimic IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED"
-- Improve documentation of MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED
- Refine patch descriptions

PATCH v2 1/5 mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblock_add_node() failures in add_memory_resource()

If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory. While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of silently ignoring the error.

PATCH v2 2/5 memblock: improve MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG documentation

In reply to David Hildenbrand

The description of MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG is currently short and consequently
misleading: we're actually dealing with a memory region that might get hotunplugged later (i.e., the platform+firmware supports it), yet it is indicated in the firmware-provided memory map as system ram that will just get used by the system for any purpose when not taking special care. The firmware marked this memory region as a hot(un)plugged (e.g., hotplugged before reboot), implying that it might get hotunplugged again later.

Whether we consider this information depends on the "movable_node" kernel commandline parameter: only with "movable_node" set, we'll try keeping this memory hotunpluggable, for example, by not serving early allocations from this memory region and by letting the buddy manage it using the ZONE_MOVABLE.

Let's make this clearer by extending the documentation.

Note: kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel. With "movable_node" set, we don't want to place kexec-images on this memory. Without "movable_node" set, we don't care and can place kexec-images on this memory. In both cases, after successful memory hotunplug, kexec has to be re-armed to update the memory map for the second kernel and to place the kexec-images somewhere else.

PATCH v2 3/5 memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node()

In reply to David Hildenbrand

We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory. Let's prepare to pass flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users.

Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory regions to place kexec images. It's important to add the memory directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

PATCH v2 4/5 memblock: add MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED to mimic IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED

In reply to David Hildenbrand

Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED, indicating that we're dealing with a memory region that is never indicated in the firmware-provided memory map, but always detected and added by a driver.

Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such memory regions like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory regions -- for example, when selecting memory regions to add to the vmcore for dumping in the crashkernel via for_each_mem_range().

However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks via for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to place kexec images, similar to how we handle IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.

We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable (IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next. This prepares architectures that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem support.

Note that kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory. Let's add a comment to kexec_walk_memblock(), documenting how we handle MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED now just like using IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED in locate_mem_hole_callback() for kexec_walk_resources().

Also note that MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG cannot be reused due to different semantics:
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during boot; kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel and can place kexec-images on this memory. After memory hotunplug, kexec has to be re-armed. We mostly ignore this flag when "movable_node" is not set on the kernel command line, because then we're told to not care about hotunpluggability of such memory regions.

MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected and added to the system by a driver; memory might not actually be physically hotunpluggable. kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory.
