[RFC] efi: Add ACPI_MEMORY_NVS into the linear map

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

 



Currently ACPI_MEMORY_NVS is omitted from the linear map, which causes
a trouble with the following firmware memory region setup:

	[..] efi:   0x0000dfd62000-0x0000dfd83fff [ACPI Reclaim|...]
	[..] efi:   0x0000dfd84000-0x0000dfd87fff [ACPI Mem NVS|...]

, on ARM64 with 64k page size, the whole 0x0000dfd80000-0x0000dfd8ffff
range will be omitted from the the linear map due to 64k round-up. And
a page fault happens when trying to access the ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY:

	[...] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff0000dfd80000

To fix this, add ACPI_MEMORY_NVS into the linear map.

We hit this in an ARM64 Hyper-V VM when using 64k page size, although
this issue may also be fixed if the efi memory regions are all 64k
aligned, but I don't find this memory region setup is invalid per UEFI
spec, also I don't find that spec disallows ACPI_MEMORY_NVS to be mapped
in the OS linear map, but if there is any better way or I'm reading the
spec incorrectly, please let me know.

It's Cced stable since 5.15 because that's when Hyper-V ARM64 support is
added, and Hyper-V is the only one that hits the problem so far.
