Hi. Thank you for your reply. I don't think existing memblock debugfs or /proc/iomem shows information I want. They don't show name and actually allocated address and size. And it does not handle pages freed to buddy allocator after boot. And which DT sysfs do you mean? If it is /proc/device-tree/reserved-memory, it shows name and size, but it does not show address for only size defined regions. It does not recognize the freed pages, either. Especially I'd like to create a node showing all reserved memory status, their total size is same as the physical memory size. This was very useful when I compare reserved memory and kernel init time memory between different chipsets, or between different sw release versions.
