Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 15:17:02 -0800 From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org> To: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: David Miller <davem@...emloft.net>, Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@...nel.crashing.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org> Subject: [PATCH 01/11] memblock: Don't adjust size in memblock_find_base() While applying patch to use memblock to find aperture for 64bit x86. Ingo found system with 1g + force_iommu > No AGP bridge found > Node 0: aperture @ 38000000 size 32 MB > Aperture pointing to e820 RAM. Ignoring. > Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole > Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup > This costs you 64 MB of RAM > Cannot allocate aperture memory hole (0,65536K) the corresponding code: addr = memblock_find_in_range(0, 1ULL<<32, aper_size, 512ULL<<20); if (addr == MEMBLOCK_ERROR || addr + aper_size > 0xffffffff) { printk(KERN_ERR "Cannot allocate aperture memory hole (%lx,%uK)\n", addr, aper_size>>10); return 0; } memblock_x86_reserve_range(addr, addr + aper_size, "aperture64") it failes because memblock core code align the size with 512M. that could make size way too big. So don't align the size in that case. acctually __memblock_alloc_base, the another caller already align that before calling that function. BTW. x86 does not use __memblock_alloc_base...
