Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 1/6] powerpc: prefer memblock APIs returning virtual address

Hi Mike,

Thanks for trying to clean these up.

I think a few could be improved though ...

The old code doesn't zero, but two of the three callers of
alloc_paca_data() *do* zero the whole allocation, so I'd be happy if we
did it in here instead.

That would mean we could use memblock_alloc_try_nid() avoiding the need
to panic() manually.

Similarly here, several of the callers zero the stack, and I'd rather
all of them did.

So again we could use memblock_alloc_try_nid() here and remove the
memset()s from emergency_stack_init().

I don't think there's any reason to BUG_ON() here rather than letting
memblock() call panic() for us. So this could also be memblock_alloc_try_nid().

This isn't equivalent is it?

memblock_alloc_base() panics on failure but memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw()
doesn't?

Same comment for the other locations that do that conversion.

cheers
