    x86, mm: Add alloc_low_pages(num) · 22c8ca2a
    Yinghai Lu 提交于
    32bit kmap mapping needs pages to be used for low to high.
    At this point those pages are still from pgt_buf_* from BRK, so it is
    ok now.
    But we want to move early_ioremap_page_table_range_init() out of
    init_memory_mapping() and only call it one time later, that will
    make page_table_range_init/page_table_kmap_check/alloc_low_page to
    use memblock to get page.
    
    memblock allocation for pages are from high to low.
    So will get panic from page_table_kmap_check() that has BUG_ON to do
    ordering checking.
    
    This patch add alloc_low_pages to make it possible to allocate serveral
    pages at first, and hand out pages one by one from low to high.
