Subject: [PATCH] x86: check range in reserve_early()
Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2009 15:20:32 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49A32F40.7080403@kernel.org> (raw)


Impact: cleanup

one 32bit system report:

BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 000000000009fc00 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved)
 BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001c000000 (usable)
 BIOS-e820: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)
DMI 2.0 present.

kernel direct mapping tables up to 1c000000 @ 7000-c000
...

...
0MB HIGHMEM available.
448MB LOWMEM available.
  mapped low ram: 0 - 1c000000
  low ram: 00000000 - 1c000000
  bootmap 00002000 - 00005800
(9 early reservations) ==> bootmem [0000000000 - 001c000000]
  #0 [0000000000 - 0000001000]   BIOS data page ==> [0000000000 - 0000001000]

  #6 [000009f400 - 0000100000]    BIOS reserved ==> [000009f400 - 0000100000]
  #7 [0000007000 - 0000007000]          PGTABLE
  #8 [0000002000 - 0000006000]          BOOTMAP ==> [0000002000 - 0000006000]

got strange blank entry with PGTABLE

the reason is init_pg_table is big enough, and zero range is called with
init_memory_mapping/reserve_early()

so try to check the range in reserve_early()
