Thanks for catching this. Interesting indeed...

Well, this is interesting. pahole reports:
struct page {
long unsigned int flags; /* 0 4 */
/* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */
union {
struct {
struct list_head lru; /* 8 8 */
...
struct folio {
union {
struct {
long unsigned int flags; /* 0 4 */
struct list_head lru; /* 4 8 */
so this assert has absolutely done its job.
But why has this assert triggered? Why is struct page layout not what
we thought it was? Turns out it's the dma_addr added in 2019 by commit
c25fff7171be ("mm: add dma_addr_t to struct page"). On this particular
config, it's 64-bit, and ppc32 requires alignment to 64-bit. So
the whole union gets moved out by 4 bytes.
Argh, good that you are catching this!
Unfortunately, we can't just fix this by putting an 'unsigned long pad'
in front of it. It still aligns the entire union to 8 bytes, and then
it skips another 4 bytes after the pad.
We can fix it like this ...

I'm fine with this pad. Matteo is currently proposing[1] to add a 32-bit
value after @dma_addr, and he could use this area instead.

When adding/changing this, we need to make sure that it doesn't overlap
member @index, because network stack use/check page_is_pfmemalloc().
As far as my calculations this is safe to add. I always try to keep an
eye out for this, but I wonder if we could have a build check like yours.
/**
* @dma_addr: might require a 64-bit value even on
* 32-bit architectures.
*/
- dma_addr_t dma_addr;
+ dma_addr_t dma_addr __packed;
};
struct { /* slab, slob and slub */
union {
but I don't know if GCC is smart enough to realise that dma_addr is now
on an 8 byte boundary and it can use a normal instruction to access it,
or whether it'll do something daft like use byte loads to access it.
We could also do:
+ dma_addr_t dma_addr __packed __aligned(sizeof(void *));
and I see pahole, at least sees this correctly:
struct {
long unsigned int _page_pool_pad; /* 4 4 */
dma_addr_t dma_addr __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
/* 8 8 */
} __attribute__((__packed__)) __attribute__((__aligned__(4)));
This presumably affects any 32-bit architecture with a 64-bit phys_addr_t
/ dma_addr_t. Advice, please?
I'm not sure that the 32-bit behavior is with 64-bit (dma) addrs.
I don't have any 32-bit boards with 64-bit DMA. Cc. Ivan, wasn't your
board (572x ?) 32-bit with driver 'cpsw' this case (where Ivan added
XDP+page_pool) ?
Sry, for delayed reply.
The TI platforms am3/4/5 (cpsw) and Keystone 2 (netcp) can do only 32bit DMA
even in case of LPAE (dma-ranges are used).
Originally, as I remember, CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT has not been selected
for the LPAE case
on TI platforms and the fact that it became set is the result of
multi-paltform/allXXXconfig/DMA
optimizations and unification.
(just checked - not set in 4.14)
Probable commit 4965a68780c5 ("arch: define the ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT config symbol
in lib/Kconfig").
The TI drivers have been updated, finally to accept ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y by
using things like (__force u32)
for example.
Honestly, I've done sanity check of CPSW with LPAE=y (ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT=y)
very long time ago.
