[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 3/4] mm: make MEMF_no_refcount pages safe to assign

[Paul Durrant <pdurrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently it is unsafe to assign a domheap page allocated with
MEMF_no_refcount to a domain because the domain't 'tot_pages' will not
be incremented, but will be decrement when the page is freed (since
free_domheap_pages() has no way of telling that the increment was skipped).

This patch allocates a new 'count_info' bit for a PGC_no_refcount flag
which is then used to mark domheap pages allocated with MEMF_no_refcount.
This then allows free_domheap_pages() to skip decrementing tot_pages when
appropriate and hence makes the pages safe to assign.

NOTE: The patch sets MEMF_no_refcount directly in alloc_domheap_pages()
      rather than in assign_pages() because the latter is called with
      MEMF_no_refcount by memory_exchange().

v5:
 - Make sure PGC_no_refcount is set before assign_pages() is called
 - Don't bother to clear PGC_no_refcount in free_domheap_pages() and
   drop ASSERT in free_heap_pages()
 - Don't latch count_info in free_heap_pages()

v4:
 - New in v4
