[PATCH 1/6] efi: Introduce efi_memmap_free() to free memory allocated by efi_memmap_alloc()

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

 



From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@xxxxxxxxx>

efi_memmap_alloc() allocates memory depending on whether mm_init() has
already been invoked or not. Apart from memblock_alloc() memory and
alloc_pages() memory, efi memory map could also have a third variant of
memory allocation and that is memblock_reserved. This happens only for
the memory map passed to kernel by firmware and thus can happen only
once during boot process.

In order to identify these three different types of allocations and thus
to call the appropriate free() variant, introduce an enum named
efi_memmap_type and also introduce a efi memmap API named
efi_memmap_free() to free memory allocated by efi_memmap_alloc().
