2009-08-31lmb: Also remove __init from lmb_end_of_RAM() declaration in lmb.hBenjamin Herrenschmidt
My previous patch (commit 4f8ee2c9cc: "lmb: Remove __init from lmb_end_of_DRAM()") removed __init in lmb.c but missed the fact that it was also marked as such in the .h Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-29[POWERPC] Provide walk_memory_resource() for powerpcBadari Pulavarty
Provide walk_memory_resource() for 64-bit powerpc. PowerPC maintains logical memory region mapping in the lmb.memory structure. Walk through these structures and do the callbacks for the contiguous chunks.

2008-04-29[POWERPC] Update lmb data structures for hotplug memory add/removeBadari Pulavarty
The powerpc kernel maintains information about logical memory blocks in the lmb.memory structure, which is initialized and updated at boot time, but not when memory is added or removed while the kernel is running. This adds a hotplug memory notifier which updates lmb.memory when memory is added or removed. This information is useful for eHEA driver to find out the memory layout and holes. NOTE: No special locking is needed for lmb_add() and lmb_remove(). Calls to these are serialized by caller. (pSeries_reconfig_chain).

2008-04-15[LMB] Add lmb_alloc_nid()David S. Miller
A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails. The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer 'this_nid'. It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start', and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory assosciated with 'nid' ends. This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might not be working yet. This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted "careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers, it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

2008-02-13[LMB]: Make lmb support large physical addressingBecky Bruce
Convert the lmb code to use u64 instead of unsigned long for physical addresses and sizes. This is needed to support large amounts of RAM on 32-bit systems that support 36-bit physical addressing.
