memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later

2012-07-16T16:04:45+00:00

commit 29f6738609e40227dabcc63bfb3b84b3726a75bd upstream.

memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.

Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.

| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing.  We should just allocate regions aligned to page
| boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.

in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:

     memblock_free: [0x0000102febc080-0x0000102febf080] memblock_free_reserved_regions+0x37/0x39
  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff88102febd948

See the discussion at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/13/469

So try to allocate with PAGE_SIZE alignment and free it later.

mm: nobootmem: fix sign extend problem in __free_pages_memory()

2012-05-10T22:06:44+00:00

Systems with 8 TBytes of memory or greater can hit a problem where only
the the first 8 TB of memory shows up.  This is due to "int i" being
smaller than "unsigned long start_aligned", causing the high bits to be
dropped.

The fix is to change `i' to unsigned long to match start_aligned
and end_aligned.

Thanks to Jack Steiner for assistance tracking this down.

mm: nobootmem: Correct alloc_bootmem semantics.

2012-04-26T04:18:01+00:00

The comments above __alloc_bootmem_node() claim that the code will
first try the allocation using 'goal' and if that fails it will
try again but with the 'goal' requirement dropped.

Unfortunately, this is not what the code does, so fix it to do so.

This is important for nobootmem conversions to architectures such
as sparc where MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is infinity.

On such architectures all of the allocations done by generic spots,
such as the sparse-vmemmap implementation, will pass in:

	__pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)

as the goal, and with the limit given as "-1" this will always fail
unless we add the appropriate fallback logic here.

Merge branch 'master' into x86/memblock

2011-11-28T17:46:22+00:00

Conflicts & resolutions:

* arch/x86/xen/setup.c

	dc91c728fd "xen: allow extra memory to be in multiple regions"
	24aa07882b "memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free..."

	conflicted on xen_add_extra_mem() updates.  The resolution is
	trivial as the latter just want to replace
	memblock_x86_reserve_range() with memblock_reserve().

* drivers/pci/intel-iommu.c

	166e9278a3f "x86/ia64: intel-iommu: move to drivers/iommu/"
	5dfe8660a3d "bootmem: Replace work_with_active_regions() with..."

	conflicted as the former moved the file under drivers/iommu/.
	Resolved by applying the chnages from the latter on the moved
	file.

* mm/Kconfig

	6661672053a "memblock: add NO_BOOTMEM config symbol"
	c378ddd53f9 "memblock, x86: Make ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK a config option"

	conflicted trivially.  Both added config options.  Just
	letting both add their own options resolves the conflict.

	d1f0ece6cdc "mm/memblock.c: small function definition fixes"
	ed7b56a799c "memblock: Remove memblock_memory_can_coalesce()"

	confliected.  The former updates function removed by the

mm: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h

2011-10-31T13:20:12+00:00

The files changed within are only using the EXPORT_SYMBOL
macro variants.  They are not using core modular infrastructure
and hence don't need module.h but only the export.h header.

memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range() with generic ones

2011-07-14T18:47:53+00:00

Other than sanity check and debug message, the x86 specific version of
memblock reserve/free functions are simple wrappers around the generic
versions - memblock_reserve/free().

This patch adds debug messages with caller identification to the
generic versions and replaces x86 specific ones and kills them.
arch/x86/include/asm/memblock.h and arch/x86/mm/memblock.c are empty
after this change and removed.

memblock, x86: Replace __get_free_all_memory_range() with for_each_free_mem_range()

2011-07-14T18:47:49+00:00

__get_free_all_memory_range() walks memblock, calculates free memory
areas and fills in the specified range.  It can be easily replaced
with for_each_free_mem_range().

Convert free_low_memory_core_early() and
add_highpages_with_active_regions() to for_each_free_mem_range().
This leaves __get_free_all_memory_range() without any user.  Kill it
and related functions.

memblock, x86: Make free_all_memory_core_early() explicitly free lowmem only

2011-07-14T18:47:49+00:00

nomemblock is currently used only by x86 and on x86_32
free_all_memory_core_early() silently freed only the low mem because
get_free_all_memory_range() in arch/x86/mm/memblock.c implicitly
limited range to max_low_pfn.

Rename free_all_memory_core_early() to free_low_memory_core_early()
and make it call __get_free_all_memory_range() and limit the range to
max_low_pfn explicitly.  This makes things clearer and also is
consistent with the bootmem behavior.

This leaves get_free_all_memory_range() without any user.  Kill it.

memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_find_in_range_node() with generic memblock calls

2011-07-14T18:45:35+00:00

With the previous changes, generic NUMA aware memblock API has feature
parity with memblock_x86_find_in_range_node().  There currently are
two users - x86 setup_node_data() and __alloc_memory_core_early() in
nobootmem.c.

This patch converts the former to use memblock_alloc_nid() and the
latter memblock_find_range_in_node(), and kills
memblock_x86_find_in_range_node() and related functions including
find_memory_early_core_early() in page_alloc.c.

25818f0f28 (memblock: Make MEMBLOCK_ERROR be 0) thankfully made
MEMBLOCK_ERROR 0 and there already are codes which expect error return
