Perhaps my confusion comes from your earlier outline missing

3. re-associate the page with the domain (as represented in free
   pages)

The property of "designated for Dom" should never go away, if I
understand the overall proposal correctly.

When initializing heap, xen is using free_heap_pages to do the initialization.
And also when normal domain get destroyed/rebooted, xen is using 
free_domheap_pages,
which calls free_heap_pages to free the pages.

So here, since free_staticmem_pages is the equivalent of the free_heap_pages 
for static
memory, I'm also considering both two scenarios here. And if it is domain get 
destroyed/rebooted,
Page state is in inuse state(PGC_inuse), and the page_info.v.inuse.domain is 
holding the
domain owner.
When freeing then, we need to switch the page state to free state(PGC_free) and 
set its inuse owner to NULL.

I'll clarify it more clearly in commit message.

Didn't I see a 2nd call to the function later in the series? That

Free_staticmem_pages are alike free_heap_pages, are not used only for 
initialization.
Freeing used pages to unused are also included.
Here, setting its owner NULL is to set owner in used field NULL.
Still, I need to add more explanation here.

Yes, I should include them all both under one specific config, maybe like
CONFIG_STATIC_MEM, and this config is arm-specific.

Sure, I'll add __init. Thx.

Sure, nr_mfns is better in also many other places.

But isn't the goal (as per the previous patch) to associate such pages
with a _specific_ domain?

Whatever it is that's needed from this header suggests the code won't
build for other architectures. I think init_staticmem_pages() in its
current shape shouldn't live in this (common) file.

Right now this function gets called only from an __init one. Unless
it is intended to gain further callers, it should be marked __init
itself then. Otherwise it should be made sure that other
architectures don't include this (dead there) code.

This type doesn't fit nr_pfns'es.

[PATCH 04/10] xen/arm: static memory initialization

2021-05-17 Thread Penny Zheng
This patch introduces static memory initialization, during system RAM boot up.

New func init_staticmem_pages is the equivalent of init_heap_pages, responsible
for static memory initialization.

Helper func free_staticmem_pages is the equivalent of free_heap_pages, to free
nr_pfns pages of static memory.
For each page, it includes the following steps:
1. change page state from in-use(also initialization state) to free state and
grant PGC_reserved.
2. set its owner NULL and make sure this page is not a guest frame any more
3. follow the same cache coherency policy in free_heap_pages
4. scrub the page in need
