2011-07-25mm/memblock.c: avoid abuse of RED_INACTIVEAndrew Morton
RED_INACTIVE is a slab thing, and reusing it for memblock was inappropriate, because memblock is dealing with phys_addr_t's which have a Kconfigurable sizeof(). Create a new poison type for this application. Fixes the sparse warning warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (9f911029d74e35b becomes 9d74e35b) Reported-by: H Hartley Sweeten <hartleys@visionengravers.com> Tested-by: H Hartley Sweeten <hartleys@visionengravers.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-03-22mm/memblock: properly handle overlaps and fix error pathBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Currently memblock_reserve() or memblock_free() don't handle overlaps of any kind. There is some special casing for coalescing exactly adjacent regions but that's about it. This is annoying because typically memblock_reserve() is used to mark regions passed by the firmware as reserved and we all know how much we can trust our firmwares... Also, with the current code, if we do something it doesn't handle right such as trying to memblock_reserve() a large range spanning multiple existing smaller reserved regions for example, or doing overlapping reservations, it can silently corrupt the internal region array, causing odd errors much later on, such as allocations returning reserved regions etc... This patch rewrites the underlying functions that add or remove a region to the arrays. The new code is a lot more robust as it fully handles overlapping regions. It's also, imho, simpler than the previous implementation. In addition, while doing so, I found a bug where if we fail to double the array while adding a region, we would remove the last region of the array rather than the region we just allocated. This fixes it too.

2011-02-11memblock: don't adjust size in memblock_find_base()Yinghai Lu
While applying patch to use memblock to find aperture for 64bit x86. Ingo found system with 1g + force_iommu > No AGP bridge found > Node 0: aperture @ 38000000 size 32 MB > Aperture pointing to e820 RAM. Ignoring. > Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole > Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup > This costs you 64 MB of RAM > Cannot allocate aperture memory hole (0,65536K) the corresponding code: addr = memblock_find_in_range(0, 1ULL<<32, aper_size, 512ULL<<20); if (addr == MEMBLOCK_ERROR || addr + aper_size > 0xffffffff) { printk(KERN_ERR "Cannot allocate aperture memory hole (%lx,%uK)\n", addr, aper_size>>10); return 0; } memblock_x86_reserve_range(addr, addr + aper_size, "aperture64") fails because memblock core code align the size with 512M. That could make size way too big. So don't align the size in that case. actually __memblock_alloc_base, the another caller already align that before calling that function. BTW. x86 does not use __memblock_alloc_base... Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: "H.

2011-01-20memblock: fix memblock_is_region_memory()Tomi Valkeinen
memblock_is_region_memory() uses reserved memblocks to search for the given region, while it should use the memory memblocks. I encountered the problem with OMAP's framebuffer ram allocation. Normally the ram is allocated dynamically, and this function is not called. However, if we want to pass the framebuffer from the bootloader to the kernel (to retain the boot image), this function is used to check the validity of the kernel parameters for the framebuffer ram area.

Stephen found WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x25ab8): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_find_base() to the function .init.text:memblock_find_region() The function memblock_find_base() references the function __init memblock_find_region().

2010-08-05memblock: Make memblock_alloc_try_nid() fallback to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHEREBenjamin Herrenschmidt
memblock_alloc_nid() used to fallback to allocating anywhere by using memblock_alloc() as a fallback. However, some of my previous patches limit memblock_alloc() to the region covered by MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE which is not quite what we want for memblock_alloc_try_nid(). So we fix it by explicitely using MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. Not that so far only sparc uses memblock_alloc_nid() and it hasn't been updated to clamp the accessible zone yet. Thus the temporary "breakage" should have no effect. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2010-08-05memblock: Separate memblock_alloc_nid() and memblock_alloc_try_nid()Benjamin Herrenschmidt

2010-08-05memblock: NUMA allocate can now use early_pfn_mapBenjamin Herrenschmidt
We now provide a default (weak) implementation of memblock_nid_range() which uses the early_pfn_map[] if CONFIG_ARCH_POPULATES_NODE_MAP is set. Sparc still needs to use its own method due to the way the pages can be scattered between nodes. This implementation is inefficient due to our main algorithm and callback construct wanting to work on an ascending addresses bases while early_pfn_map[] would rather work with nid's (it's unsorted at that stage). But it should work and we can look into improving it subsequently, possibly using arch compile options to chose a different algorithm alltogether.

2010-08-05memblock: Add arch function to control coalescing of memblock memory regionsBenjamin Herrenschmidt

2010-08-05memblock: Add array resizing supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
When one of the array gets full, we resize it. After much thinking and a few iterations of that code, I went back to on-demand resizing using the (new) internal memblock_find_base() function, which is pretty much what Yinghai initially proposed, though there some differences in the details.

2010-08-05memblock: Introduce default allocation limit and use it to replace explicit onesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This introduce memblock.current_limit which is used to limit allocations from memblock_alloc() or memblock_alloc_base(..., MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE). The old MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE changes value from 0 to ~(u64)0 and can still be used with memblock_alloc_base() to allocate really anywhere. It is -no-longer- cropped to MEMBLOCK_REAL_LIMIT which disappears. Note to archs: I'm leaving the default limit to MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ANYWHERE. I strongly recommend that you ensure that you set an appropriate limit during boot in order to guarantee that an memblock_alloc() at any time results in something that is accessible with a simple __va(). The reason is that a subsequent patch will introduce the ability for the array to resize itself by reallocating itself. The MEMBLOCK core will honor the current limit when performing those allocations. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
