mm/memory_hotplug: replace an open-coded kmemdup() in add_memory_resource()
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-23824 commit 82b8a3b Author: Vishal Verma <vishal.l.verma@intel.com> Date: Tue Nov 7 00:22:41 2023 -0700 mm/memory_hotplug: replace an open-coded kmemdup() in add_memory_resource() Patch series "mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem", v10. The dax/kmem driver can potentially hot-add large amounts of memory originating from CXL memory expanders, or NVDIMMs, or other 'device memories'. There is a chance there isn't enough regular system memory available to fit the memmap for this new memory. It's therefore desirable, if all other conditions are met, for the kmem managed memory to place its memmap on the newly added memory itself. The main hurdle for accomplishing this for kmem is that memmap_on_memory can only be done if the memory being added is equal to the size of one memblock. To overcome this, allow the hotplug code to split an add_memory() request into memblock-sized chunks, and try_remove_memory() to also expect and handle such a scenario. Patch 1 replaces an open-coded kmemdup() Patch 2 teaches the memory_hotplug code to allow for splitting add_memory() and remove_memory() requests over memblock sized chunks. Patch 3 allows the dax region drivers to request memmap_on_memory semantics. CXL dax regions default this to 'on', all others default to off to keep existing behavior unchanged. This patch (of 3): A review of the memmap_on_memory modifications to add_memory_resource() revealed an instance of an open-coded kmemdup(). Replace it with kmemdup().
