The current acpi_initrd_override() calls memblock_find_in_range() to allocate memory, and pass 0 to %start, which will not limited by the current_limit_low. acpi_initrd_override() |->memblock_find_in_range(0, ...) |->memblock_find_in_range_node(0, ...) When we want to allocate memory from the end of kernel image to higher memory, we need to limit the lowest address to the end of kernel image. We have modified memblock_alloc_base_nid() to call memblock_find_in_range_node() with %start = MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE, which means it will be limited by current_limit_low. And __memblock_alloc_base() calls memblock_alloc_base_nid(). __memblock_alloc_base() |->memblock_alloc_base_nid() |->memblock_find_in_range_node(MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE, ...) So use __memblock_alloc_base() to allocate memory in acpi_initrd_override().
