Hello folks, Almost a year ago I sent a patchset to the Linux MIPS community. The main target of the patchset was to get rid from the old bootmem allocator usage at the MIPS architecture. Additionally I had a problem with CMA usage on my MIPS machine due to some struct page-related issue. Moving to the memblock allocator fixed the problem and gave us benefits like smaller memory consumption, powerful memblock API to be used within the arch code. @marcin.nowakowski@xxxxxxxxxx. Could you confirm if you are still interested in the patchset and ready to update the Loongson64 platform code so one would be compatible with it?
I am currently working on different projects, but I will try to do my best to help with this (but just might require more time than I would otherwise need). Given the scale of the task and the amount of testing required, I expect that it will take a while to get a complete set of patches reviewed and tested which should hopefully be enough to fix support for all platforms affected.
