Hi all, Sorry for my mistake that my previous patch series has been screwed up. So I regenerate a third version and also set up a git tree at: git://github.com/jiangliu/linux.git mem_init Any help to review and test are welcomed! The original goal of this patchset is to fix the bug reported by https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53501 Now it has also been expanded to reduce common code used by memory initializion. This is the last part, previous three patch sets could be accessed at: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136289696323825&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136290291524901&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=136345342831592&w=2 This patchset applies to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mhocko/mm.git since-3.8 Patch 1-7: 1) add comments for global variables exported by vmlinux.lds 2) normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds Patch 8: Introduce helper functions mem_init_print_info() and get_num_physpages() Patch 9: Avoid using num_physpages at runtime Patch 10-38: 1) Simplify mem_init() by using mem_init_print_info() 2) Prepare fore kill global variable num_physpages Patch 39: Kill global variable num_physpages With all patches applied, mem_init(), free_initmem(), free_initrd_mem() could be as simple as below. This patch series has reduced about 1.2K lines of code in total. #ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM void __init mem_init(void) { max_mapnr = max_low_pfn; free_all_bootmem(); high_memory = (void *) __va(max_low_pfn * PAGE_SIZE); mem_init_print_info(NULL); } #endif /* CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM */ void free_initmem(void) { free_initmem_default(-1); } #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD void free_initrd_mem(unsigned long start, unsigned long end) { free_reserved_area(start, end, -1, "initrd"); } #endif Due to hardware resource limitations, I have only tested this on x86_64. And the messages reported are: Previous log message: Memory: 7745676k/8910848k available (6934k kernel code, 836024k absent, 329148k reserved, 6343k data, 1012k init) Current log message: Memory: 7744624K/8074824K available (6969K kernel code, 1011K data, 2828K rodata, 1016K init, 9640K bss, 330200K reserved) Any help to review or test these patch series are welcomed!
