Hello,

On arm64 platform "struct dev_pagemap" is getting corrupted during ZONE_DEVICE
unmapping path through device_destroy(). Its device memory range end address
(pgmap->res.end) which is getting corrupted in this particular case. AFAICS
pgmap which gets initialized by the driver and mapped with devm_memremap_pages()
should retain it's values during the unmapping path as well. Is this assumption
right ?

The problem can be traced down here.


dev_pagemap being added:

#define ZONE_DEVICE_PHYS_START 0x680000000UL
#define ZONE_DEVICE_PHYS_END   0x6BFFFFFFFUL
#define ALTMAP_FREE 4096
#define ALTMAP_RESV 1024

	pgmap->type = MEMORY_DEVICE_PUBLIC;
	pgmap->res.start = ZONE_DEVICE_PHYS_START;
	pgmap->res.end = ZONE_DEVICE_PHYS_END;
	pgmap->ref = ref;
	pgmap->kill = zone_device_percpu_kill;
	pgmap->dev = dev;

	memset(&pgmap->altmap, 0, sizeof(struct vmem_altmap));
	pgmap->altmap.free = ALTMAP_FREE;
	pgmap->altmap.alloc = 0;
	pgmap->altmap.align = 0;
	pgmap->altmap_valid = 1;

	tmp = (unsigned long *)&pgmap->altmap.base_pfn;
	tmp1 = (unsigned long *)&pgmap->altmap.reserve;

	*tmp = pgmap->res.start >> PAGE_SHIFT;
	*tmp1 = ALTMAP_RESV;

With the patch:

Without the patch:

Though this prevents the above corruption I wonder what was causing it in the
first place and how we can address the problem.

Given that what seems to ultimately get corrupted is the memory pointed 
to by pgmap here, how is *that* being allocated?

OK, so without this patch pgmap->res.end becomes 0 while it should stay
at 0x6bfffffff. Is it easy to reproduce with mainline?

What's zone_device_public_altmap_init? I couldn't grep it in mainline.
How's the pgmap allocated?

I'd suggest you enable kasan and see if it spots anything.

I doubt that pgmap->res.end get corrupted during device_destroy() but given
that the above changes fix the issue it kind of boggle the mind. If i where
to debug this i would probably run a kernel with qemu -s to get a gdbserver
and then attach gdb and set breakpoint on devm_memremap_pages() then when
that trigger i would set memory watch on the pgmap->res.end (there use to be
way to use memory as pmem through kernel boot option).

A printk alternative solution is, assuming you only have one pgmap, add a
global static struct pgmap *debug_pgmap = NULL; in memremap.c set that in
devm_memremap_pages() and add an helper function:

void debug_pgmap(const char *file, unsigned line)
{
    printk(... file, line);
    printk(... debug_pmap->res.end);
}

In a header:
#define DEBUG_PGMAP debug_pgmap(__FILE__, __LINE__);

Then sprinkle DEBUG_PGMAP within device_destroy(), device_unregister(),
device_release() and see when it get corrupted.

gdb would be faster but sometime i got issue with memory watchpoint and virt.

Cheers,
Jérôme

struct dev_pagemap *pgmap;

pgmap = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct dev_pagemap), GFP_KERNEL);

Is it problematic to use dev_kzalloc here instead of generic kmalloc/kzalloc
functions ? kzalloc() seems to solve the problem. Will do some more testing
tomorrow.

Yeah but with some ZONE_DEVICE series patches.

Test module inti function (should have mentioned it clearly).

devm_kzalloc() but the problem seems to be gone with kzalloc().

The important point is that your pgmap is a devres allocation itself, 
thus changing the alignment of devres::data is moving the thing which 
was getting corrupted to a different relative location:

(gdb) p sizeof(struct devres) + sizeof(struct dev_pagemap)
$1 = 296
(gdb) p sizeof(struct devres) + (size_t)&(((struct dev_pagemap*)0)->res.end)
$2 = 192

vs.

(gdb) p sizeof(struct devres_node) + sizeof(struct dev_pagemap)
$3 = 192
(gdb) p sizeof(struct devres_node) + (size_t)&(((struct 
dev_pagemap*)0)->res.end)
$4 = 88

The fact that the corruption of the 128-byte-aligned devres::data occurs 
exactly where the 8-byte-aligned devres::data would have ended is 
particularly suspicious...

On this specific question, no. devm_kzalloc() is how the pmem and
device-dax drivers allocate the pgmap passed to devm_memremap_pages().
The unwind order of the devres resources ensures that the
devm_memremap_pages() devres actions occur before the release of the
pgmap allocation.
