Background about the defect of the current bottom-up allocation style, take the following scenario: | unmovable node | movable node | | kaslr-kernel |subtree of pgtable for phy<->virt |
Although kaslr-kernel can avoid to stain the movable node. But the pgtable can still stain the movable node. That is a probability problem, with low probability, but still exist. This patch tries to eliminate the probability. With the previous patch, at the point of init_mem_mapping(), memblock allocator can work with the knowledge of acpi memory hotmovable info, and avoid to stain the movable node. As a result, memory_map_bottom_up() is not needed any more. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mi...@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <b...@alien8.de> Cc: "H.
