[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] xen/mm: Introduce PGC_state_uninitialised



From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

It is possible for pages to enter general circulation without ever
being process by init_heap_pages().

For example, pages of the multiboot module containing the initramfs may
be assigned via assign_pages() to dom0 as it is created. And some code
including map_pages_to_xen() has checks on 'system_state' to determine
whether to use the boot or the heap allocator, but it seems impossible
to prove that pages allocated by the boot allocator are not subsequently
freed with free_heap_pages().

This actually works fine in the majority of cases; there are only a few
esoteric corner cases which init_heap_pages() handles before handing the
page range off to free_heap_pages():
 • Excluding MFN #0 to avoid inappropriate cross-zone merging.
 • Ensuring that the node information structures exist, when the first
   page(s) of a given node are handled.
 • High order allocations crossing from one node to another.

To handle this case, shift PG_state_inuse from its current value of
zero, to another value. Use zero, which is the initial state of the
entire frame table, as PG_state_uninitialised.

Fix a couple of assertions which were assuming that PG_state_inuse is
zero, and make them cope with the PG_state_uninitialised case too where
appopriate.

Finally, make free_heap_pages() call through to init_heap_pages() when
given a page range which has not been initialised. This cannot keep
recursing because init_heap_pages() will set each page state to
PGC_state_inuse before passing it back to free_heap_pages() for the
second time.
