From: Grygorii Strashko <grygorii.strashko@xxxxxx> Now the Nobootmem allocator will always try to free memory allocated for reserved memory regions (free_low_memory_core_early()) without taking into to account current memblock debugging configuration (CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS state). As result if: - CONFIG_DEBUG_FS defined - CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK not defined; - reserved memory regions array have been resized during boot then: - memory allocated for reserved memory regions array will be freed to buddy allocator; - debug_fs entry "sys/kernel/debug/memblock/reserved" will show garbage instead of state of memory reservations. like: 0: 0x98393bc0..0x9a393bbf 1: 0xff120000..0xff11ffff 2: 0x00000000..0xffffffff Hence, do not free memory allocated for reserved memory regions if defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS) && !defined(CONFIG_ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK).
