Correction: At least on x86-64 we have max_possible_pfn, which will consult the ACPI SRAT table to figure out the maximum possible PFN. (Without SRAT, max_possible_pfn will point at the end of initial boot memory and not consider hotplug memory - something that e.g., newer QEMU versions work around by creating SRAT tables if memory hotplug might be possible, even if there is no actual NUMA configuration). pci-swiotlb.c similarly relies on that to figure out if there are any !DMA addresses to handle. -- Thanks, David / dhildenb ___ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu

Well, memory notifiers are a reasonable api used accross the kernel to get notified when new memory is onlined to the buddy that could be used for allocations. highest_pfn_possible() would have to default to something linked to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS whenever memory hotplug is configured, I am not sure how helpful that is (IOW, you can just default to enable_4GB=true in that case instead in most cases). -- Thanks, David / dhildenb ___ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu

Yingjoe also told me that this patch is not correct. Thanks for pointing this out. totalram_pages() does not work for some cases: e.g., DRAM start @0x4000_ and DRAM size is 0x1__ but we reserve large amount of memory, which makes totalram_pages() < 3GB but it is possible to allocate a pfn >= 4GB.

E.g., start a VM with 1GB and hotplug 1GB - it will be hotplugged on x86-64 above 4GB, turning max_pfn into 5GB. totalram_pages() should return something < 2GB. Same can happen when you have a VM and use ballooning to fake-unplug memory, making totalram_pages() return something < 4GB, but leaving usable pfns >= 4GB. but ... I don't know if I understood what "enable_4GB" needs/implies ... I don't know if this is applicable to VMs at all (on real HW such memory hotplug setups should not exist) ... I don't know how this code would react to memory hotplug, so if the condition changes after the driver loaded and enable_4GB would suddenly apply.
