[PATCH v3 2/2] mm: Introduce kernelcore=mirror option

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

 



This patch extends existing "kernelcore" option and
introduces kernelcore=mirror option. By specifying
"mirror" instead of specifying the amount of memory,
non-mirrored (non-reliable) region will be arranged
into ZONE_MOVABLE.

v1 -> v2:
 - Refine so that the following case also can be
   handled properly:

 Node X:  |MMMMMM------MMMMMM--------|
   (legend) M: mirrored  -: not mirrrored

 In this case, ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE are
 arranged like bellow:

 Node X:  |MMMMMM------MMMMMM--------|
          |ooooooxxxxxxooooooxxxxxxxx| ZONE_NORMAL
                |ooooooxxxxxxoooooooo| ZONE_MOVABLE
   (legend) o: present  x: absent

v2 -> v3:
 - change the option name from kernelcore=reliable
   into kernelcore=mirror
 - documentation fix so that users can understand
   nn[KMS] and mirror are exclusive
