Patch for sparsemem support

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

 



The patch below allows sparsemem to work for Mips64. This is my first foray into the boot memory handling code, so hopefully I haven't made any serious blunders. Unfortunately the Octeon processor I made the changes for isn't currently in the linux-mips.org tree. This means there isn't an example of sparsemem usage yet. I plan to work at fixing this soon.

Other than various ifdef changes, the most important change was moving memory_present() in arch/mips/kernel/setup.c. When you're using sparsemem extreme, this function does an allocate for bootmem. This would always fail since init_bootmem hasn't been called yet. I moved memory_present after free_bootmem. This only marks actual memory ranges as present instead of the entire address space.

This patch was made against 2.6.16.16
