[PATCH 1/5] dt-bindings: reserved-memory: Add alloc-{bottom-up,top-down}

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

 



Right now the allocation behavior for dynamic reserved memory is
implementation-defined. On Linux it is dependent on the architecture.
This is usually fine if the address is completely arbitrary.

However, when using "alloc-ranges" it is helpful to allow controlling
this. That way you can make sure that the reservations are placed next
to other (static) allocations to keep the free memory contiguous if
possible.
