Message-ID: <20061204145511.GW32059@skybase> Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 15:55:11 +0100 From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@...ibm.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, heiko.carstens@...ibm.com Subject: [S390] Use diag260 for memory size detection. From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com> [S390] Use diag260 for memory size detection. Avoid the tprot loop if diag260 works and reports that there are no holes in memory. The tprot instruction can lead to a significant delay in the ipl process if the virtual guest has a lot of memory and the host is under memory pressure.
