* bootmem: clean up alloc_bootmem_coreJohannes Weiner2008-07-241-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_bootmem_core has become quite nasty to read over time. This is a clean rewrite that keeps the semantics. bdata->last_pos has been dropped. bdata->last_success has been renamed to hint_idx and it is now an index relative to the node's range. Since further block searching might start at this index, it is now set to the end of a succeeded allocation rather than its beginning. bdata->last_offset has been renamed to last_end_off to be more clear that it represents the ending address of the last allocation relative to the node.

* Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle2008-02-071-2/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

* Revert "x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G"Linus Torvalds2007-10-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 2e1c49db4c640b35df13889b86b9d62215ade4b6. First off, testing in Fedora has shown it to cause boot failures, bisected down by Martin Ebourne, and reported by Dave Jobes. So the commit will likely be reverted in the 2.6.23 stable kernels. Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that this ever affected.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node itself, but that fails if there is no memory in there. This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so far empty node. Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes. And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node. To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that does what its name implies. TBD should try to use nearby nodes here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a limit parameter to the core bootmem allocator; The new parameter indicates that physical memory allocated by the bootmem allocator should be within the requested limit. We also introduce alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit, alloc_bootmem_node_limit, alloc_bootmem_low_pages_node_limit apis, but alloc_bootmem_low_pages_limit is the only api used for swiotlb. The existing alloc_bootmem_low_pages() api could instead have been changed and made to pass right limit to the core allocator. But that would make the patch more intrusive for 2.6.14, as other arches use alloc_bootmem_low_pages(). We may be done that post 2.6.14 as a cleanup. With this, swiotlb gets memory within 4G for both x86_64 and ia64 arches.

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!
