hi all:
I have several questions about free_all_bootmem_core:
1.
In __free_pages_bootmem, we set set_page_count(p, 0) while looping nr_pages,
why we need to set_page_refcounted(page) before calling __free_pages?
2.
how about the pages that allocated by calling alloc_bootmem_xxxx?
in free_all_bootmem, we just free the pages that used to record
bootmem stage present pages like below.
if so, isn't possible the pages got by calling alloc_bootmem_xxxx will
be over-written by later page allocation ?
page = virt_to_page(bdata->node_bootmem_map);
pages = bdata->node_low_pfn - bdata->node_min_pfn;
pages = bootmem_bootmap_pages(pages);
count += pages;
while (pages--)
__free_pages_bootmem(page++, 0);
appreciate your kind help in advance,
