With 2.6.26 I get: <snip> Zone PFN ranges: DMA 0 -> 4096 DMA32 4096 -> 1048576 Normal 1048576 -> 1048576 Movable zone start PFN for each node early_node_map[4] active PFN ranges 0: 0 -> 159 0: 256 -> 521844 0: 521961 -> 521964 0: 521983 -> 521984 On node 0 totalpages: 521751 DMA zone: 56 pages used for memmap DMA zone: 1271 pages reserved DMA zone: 2672 pages, LIFO batch:0 DMA32 zone: 7081 pages used for memmap DMA32 zone: 510671 pages, LIFO batch:31 Normal zone: 0 pages used for memmap Movable zone: 0 pages used for memmap </snip> With 2.6.27-rc1 I only get pages listed for 2 zones (bottom part): <snip> Zone PFN ranges: DMA 0x00000000 -> 0x00001000 DMA32 0x00001000 -> 0x00100000 Normal 0x00100000 -> 0x00100000 Movable zone start PFN for each node early_node_map[4] active PFN ranges 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x0000009f 0: 0x00000100 -> 0x0007f674 0: 0x0007f6e9 -> 0x0007f6ec 0: 0x0007f6ff -> 0x0007f700 On node 0 totalpages: 521751 DMA zone: 2072 pages, LIFO batch:0 DMA32 zone: 506625 pages, LIFO batch:31 </snip> Note that totalpages is the same and that for 2.6.26 the sum of pages for all listed zones is equal to totalpages. Seems we've lost useful info here. I also seem to have "lost" 600 LIFO batch pages for DMA and 4000 for DMA32 between the kernel versions although that could be due to config changes (I enabled some extra debugging options). Harder to tell though without the info where they've gone... Cheers, FJP P.S. As a user I really don't find the hex values easier to read/use than the decimal values. Except maybe for the "Zone PFN ranges" where things seem to be nicely aligned. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-testers" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
