Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/mm_init: don't overlap NORMAL and MOVABLE zones with kernelcore=mirror
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 10:39:39 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625073941.145014-2-rppt@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625073941.145014-1-rppt@kernel.org>
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
When kernelcore or movablecore kernel parameters define size of the
NORMAL and MOVABLE zones as percents of the total memory or by absolute
value, ZONE_NORMAL is clamped at the beginning of ZONE_MOVABLE.
However, when kernelcore=mirror the ZONE_NORMAL span is not changed but
rather pages from ZONE_MOVABLE counted as absent in ZONE_NORMAL.
Make the behaviour of kernelcore= parameter uniform and treat mirror
just as another way to size the zones.
