This generates some WARN_ON noise when called from efi_find_mirror():


It seems jump_label_init() is called after memory initialization. (init/main.c::start_kernel())
So, it may be difficut to use static_key function for our purpose because
kernel memory allocation may occur before jump_label is ready.

Hi Kame,

How about like this? Use static bool in bootmem, and use jump label in buddy system.
This means we use two variable to do it.


I think it can be done but it should be done in separated patch with enough comment/changelog.

Thanks,
