[PATCH v1 0/2] Register device memory for poison handling
Posted by ankita@nvidia.com 1 month ago
From: Ankit Agrawal <ankita@nvidia.com>

Linux MM provides interfaces to allow a driver to [un]register device
memory not backed by struct page for poison handling through
memory_failure.

The device memory on NVIDIA Grace based systems are not added to the
kernel and are not backed by struct pages. So nvgrace-gpu module
which manages the device memory can make use of these interfaces to
get the benefit of poison handling. Make nvgrace-gpu register the device
memory with the MM on open.

Moreover, the stubs are added to accommodate for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE
being disabled.

Patch 1/2 introduces stubs for CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE disabled.
Patch 2/2 registers the device memory at the time of open instead of mmap.

Note that this is a reposting of an earlier series [1] which is partly
(patch 1/3) merged to v6.19-rc4. This one addresses the leftover patching.
Many thanks to Jason Gunthorpe (jgg@nvidia.com) and Alex Williamson
(alex@shazbot.org) for valuable suggestions.
