[RFC PATCH 4/4] x86/mm: remove bottom-up allocation style for x86_64

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are two acheivements by this patch.
-1st. keep the subtree of pgtable away from movable node.
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. [1] 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.

-2nd. simplify the logic of memory_map_top_down()
Thanks to the help of early_make_pgtable(), x86_64 can directly set up the
subtree of pgtable at any place, hence the careful iteration in
memory_map_top_down() can be discard.
