Hi Will,
I have a couple concerns about your patch:
One of the reasons (and actually, the main reason) why I preferred to
keep vmemmap_populate() instead of implementing kasan's own variant,
which btw can be done in common code similarly to
vmemmap_populate_basepages() is that vmemmap_populate() uses large
pages when available. I think it is a considerable downgrade to go
back to base pages, when we already have large page support available
to us.
The kasan shadow tree is large, it is up-to 1/8th of system memory, so
even on moderate size servers, shadow tree is going to be multiple
gigabytes.
The second concern is that there is an existing bug associated with
your patch that I am not sure how to solve:
Try building your patch with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM. This config makes
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to do memset(0xff) on all allocated
memory.
I am getting the following panic during boot:

So, I've been trying to root cause it, and here is what I've got:
First, I went back to my version of kasan_map_populate() and replaced
vmemmap_populate() with vmemmap_populate_basepages(), which
behavior-vise made it very similar to your patch. After doing this I
got the same panic. So, I figured there must be something to do with
the differences that regular vmemmap allocated with granularity of
SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE while kasan with granularity of PAGE_SIZE.
So, I made the following modification to your patch:
static void __init kasan_map_populate(unsigned long start, unsigned long end,
int node)
{
+ start = round_down(start, SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE);
+ end = round_up(end, SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE);
kasan_pgd_populate(start & PAGE_MASK, PAGE_ALIGN(end), node, false);
}
This is basically makes shadow tree ranges to be SWAPPER_BLOCK_SIZE
aligned. After, this modification everything is working. However, I
am not sure if this is a proper fix.
I feel, this patch requires more work, and I am troubled with using
base pages instead of large pages.
Thank you,
Pavel
