This patch adds device tree support for contiguous and reserved memory
regions defined in device tree.
Large memory blocks can be reliably reserved only during early boot.
This must happen before the whole memory management subsystem is
initialized, because we need to ensure that the given contiguous blocks
are not yet allocated by kernel. Also it must happen before kernel
mappings for the whole low memory are created, to ensure that there will
be no mappings (for reserved blocks) or mapping with special properties
can be created (for CMA blocks). This all happens before device tree
structures are unflattened, so we need to get reserved memory layout
directly from fdt.
Later, those reserved memory regions are assigned to devices on each
device structure initialization.

This is /okay/ for an initial implementation, but it is naive. While I
suggested making #address-cells and #size-cells equal the root node
values for the purpose of simplicity, it should still be perfectly valid
to have different values if the ranges property is correctly formed.

Future enhancement; allow for parsing more than just the first reg
tuple.
One more question. Does it really makes any sense to support more than
one tuple for reg property? For consistency we should also allow more
than one entry in size, align and alloc-ranges property, but I don't
see any benefits for defining more than one range for a single region.
Same can be achieved by defining more regions instead if one really
needs such configuration.
Yes, if only because it is an define usage of the reg property. If a
devtree has multiple tuples in reg, then all of those tuples should be
treated as reserved, even if the kernel doesn't know how to use them.
I would not do the same for size/align/alloc-ranges unless there is a
very specific use case that you can define. These ones are different
from the static regions because they aren't ever used to protect
something that already exists in the memory.
Is there a reason why multiple regions could not be used for this
purpose, instead of adding extra complexity of having multiple reg
entries per region?
I.e. I don't see a difference between
reg1: region@00000000 {
reg = <0x00000000 0x1000>;
};
reg2: region@10000000 {
reg = <0x10000000 0x1000>;
};
user {
regions = <®1>, <®2>;
};
and
reg: region@00000000 {
reg = <0x00000000 0x1000>, <0x10000000 0x1000>;
};
user {
regions = <®>;
};
except that the former IMHO better suits the definition of memory
region, which I see as a single contiguous range of memory and can be
simplified to have a single reg entry per region.
Best regards,
Tomasz
