From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi, It's been a while since DISCONTIGMEM is generally considered deprecated, but it is still used by four architectures. This set replaces DISCONTIGMEM with a different way to handle holes in the memory map and marks DISCONTIGMEM configuration as BROKEN in Kconfigs of these architectures with the intention to completely remove it in several releases. While for 64-bit alpha and ia64 the switch to SPARSEMEM is quite obvious and was a matter of moving some bits around, for smaller 32-bit arc and m68k SPARSEMEM is not necessarily the best thing to do. On 32-bit machines SPARSEMEM would require large sections to make section index fit in the page flags, but larger sections mean that more memory is wasted for unused memory map. Besides, pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() become less efficient, at least on arc. So I've decided to generalize arm's approach for freeing of unused parts of the memory map with FLATMEM and enable it for both arc and m68k. The details are in the description of patches 10 (arc) and 13 (m68k). Mike Rapoport (13): alpha: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM ia64: remove custom __early_pfn_to_nid() ia64: remove 'ifdef CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32' statements ia64: discontig: paging_init(): remove local max_pfn calculation ia64: split virtual map initialization out of paging_init() ia64: forbid using VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP with FLATMEM ia64: make SPARSEMEM default and disable DISCONTIGMEM arm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL arm, arm64: move free_unused_memmap() to generic mm arc: use FLATMEM with freeing of unused memory map instead of DISCONTIGMEM m68k/mm: make node data and node setup depend on CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM m68k/mm: enable use of generic memory_model.h for !DISCONTIGMEM m68k: deprecate DISCONTIGMEM Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst | 3 +- arch/Kconfig | 3 ++ arch/alpha/Kconfig | 8 +++ arch/alpha/include/asm/mmzone.h | 14 +---- arch/alpha/include/asm/page.h | 7 +-- arch/alpha/include/asm/pgtable.h | 12 ++--- arch/alpha/include/asm/sparsemem.h | 18 +++++++ arch/alpha/kernel/setup.c | 1 + arch/arc/Kconfig | 3 +- arch/arc/include/asm/page.h | 20 ++++++-- arch/arc/mm/init.c | 29 ++++++++--- arch/arm/Kconfig | 10 +--- arch/arm/mach-bcm/Kconfig | 1 - arch/arm/mach-davinci/Kconfig | 1 - arch/arm/mach-exynos/Kconfig | 1 - arch/arm/mach-highbank/Kconfig | 1 - arch/arm/mach-omap2/Kconfig | 1 - arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/Kconfig | 1 - arch/arm/mach-tango/Kconfig | 1 - arch/arm/mm/init.c | 78 ---------------------------- arch/arm64/Kconfig | 4 +- arch/arm64/mm/init.c | 68 ------------------------ arch/ia64/Kconfig | 11 ++-- arch/ia64/include/asm/meminit.h | 2 - arch/ia64/mm/contig.c | 58 ++++++++++----------- arch/ia64/mm/discontig.c | 44 ++++++++-------- arch/ia64/mm/init.c | 14 ----- arch/ia64/mm/numa.c | 30 ----------- arch/m68k/Kconfig.cpu | 32 ++++++++++-- arch/m68k/include/asm/page.h | 2 + arch/m68k/include/asm/page_mm.h | 7 ++- arch/m68k/include/asm/virtconvert.h | 2 +- arch/m68k/mm/init.c | 8 +-- fs/proc/kcore.c | 2 - include/linux/mm.h | 3 -- include/linux/mmzone.h | 42 --------------- mm/memblock.c | 80 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mm/mmzone.c | 14 ----- mm/page_alloc.c | 16 ++++-- mm/vmstat.c | 4 -- 40 files changed, 272 insertions(+), 384 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/alpha/include/asm/sparsemem.h base-commit: 3650b228f83adda7e5ee532e2b90429c03f7b9ec -- 2.28.0
