Subject: Re: [PATCH v1] memblock: Initialized the memory of memblock.reserve
to the MIGRATE_MOVABL
Hi Mike
Thanks for your advice and sorry for taking so long to reply.
I looked at the logic again. deferred_init_pages is currently used to
handle all (memory &&! reserved) area memblock，and put that memory in
buddy.
Change it to also handle reserved memory may involve more code
changes. I wonder if I can change the commit message: This patch is
mainly to
make the migration type to MIGRATE_MOVABLE when the reserve type page
is initialized, regardless of whether CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
is set or not?
When not set CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT， initializes memblock of
reserve type to MIGRATE_MOVABLE by default at memmap_init initializes
memory.
Sincerely yours，
Su
