[PATCH v3 6/6] efi: Disable mirror feature if kernelcore is not specified

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

 



From: Ma Wupeng <mawupeng1@xxxxxxxxxx>

If system have some mirrored memory and mirrored feature is not specified
in boot parameter, the basic mirrored feature will be enabled and this will
lead to the following situations:

- memblock memory allocation prefers mirrored region. This may have some
  unexpected influence on numa affinity.

- contiguous memory will be split into several parts if parts of them
  is mirrored memory via memblock_mark_mirror().

To fix this, variable mirrored_kernelcore will be checked before calling
efi_find_mirror() which will enable basic mirrored feature and this
variable is true if kernelcore=mirror is added in the kernel parameters.
