* [PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodesAndi Kleen2005-08-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64. This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks and other nasty behaviour. This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that should be only a few percent error now. Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now too because it offers more flexibility. (akpm: lotsa thanks to Martin for working this problem out) Cc: Martin Bligh <mbligh@mbligh.org> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Increase number of e820 entries hard limit from 32 to 128Venkatesh Pallipadi2005-05-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32. With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128. The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820). As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect on bootloader-setup code interface. Patch covers both i386 and x86-64. Tested on: * grub booting bzImage * lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled * pxeboot of bzImage Side-effect: bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Port over e820 gap detection from i386Andi Kleen2005-04-161-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Look for gaps in the e820 memory map to put PCI resources in. This hopefully fixes problems with the PCI code assigning 32bit BARs MMIO resources which are >32bit.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
