      memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later · 29f67386
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      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

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

      mm: sparse: fix usemap allocation above node descriptor section · 99ab7b19
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      After commit f5bf18fa ("bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint
      in alloc_bootmem_section"), usemap allocations may easily be placed
      outside the optimal section that holds the node descriptor, even if
      there is space available in that section.  This results in unnecessary
      hotplug dependencies that need to have the node unplugged before the
      section holding the usemap.
      
      The reason is that the bootmem allocator doesn't guarantee a linear
      search starting from the passed allocation goal but may start out at a
      much higher address absent an upper limit.
      
      Fix this by trying the allocation with the limit at the section end,
      then retry without if that fails.  This keeps the fix from f5bf18fa
      of not panicking if the allocation does not fit in the section, but
      still makes sure to try to stay within the section at first.

      mm: nobootmem: Correct alloc_bootmem semantics. · 4e1c2b28
      David Miller 提交于
      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.

      crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr,... · 93a72052

      crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
      
      The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
      backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
      connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
      crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
      driver modules.
      
      Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
      kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
      usable for modules.
      
      Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
      to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
      and powerpc.
