arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845-oneplus-common: guard rmtfs-mem
[ Upstream commit e60fd5ac1f6851be5b2c042b39584bfcf8a66f57 ]
The rmtfs_mem region is a weird one, downstream allocates it
dynamically, and supports a "qcom,guard-memory" property which when set
will reserve 4k above and below the rmtfs memory.
A common from qcom 4.9 kernel msm_sharedmem driver:
/*
* If guard_memory is set, then the shared memory region
* will be guarded by SZ_4K at the start and at the end.
* This is needed to overcome the XPU limitation on few
* MSM HW, so as to make this memory not contiguous with
* other allocations that may possibly happen from other
* clients in the system.
*/
When the kernel tries to touch memory that is too close the
rmtfs region it may cause an XPU violation. Such is the case on the
OnePlus 6 where random crashes would occur usually after boot.
Reserve 4k above and below the rmtfs_mem to avoid hitting these XPU
Violations.
This doesn't entirely solve the random crashes on the OnePlus 6/6T but
it does seem to prevent the ones which happen shortly after modem
bringup.
