It is reserved in setup_arch() which is before mm_init() which calls mem_init().It's hidden from the system before mem_init() ?Do you have any advice to free that reserved memory after boot? :)Let's see arch/x86/mm/init.c::free_initmem() Maybe it's all you want. - ClearPageReserved() - init_page_count() - free_page() - totalram_pages++I am trying to figure out why...Hmm...then....memmap is not there. pfn_valid() check will help you. What arch ? x86-64 ?So I am afraid we need to use other API to free it...The, problem is whether memmap is there or not. That's all. plz see init sequence and check there are memmap. If memory-for-crash is obtained via bootmem, Don't you try to free memory hole ?
Yes, I am checking the code. Thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
