Subject: [PATCH 04/11] of: reserved_mem: skip reserved_mem array allocation when there is nothing to save
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:58:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429065831.1510858-5-chenwandun@lixiang.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429065831.1510858-1-chenwandun@lixiang.com>
fdt_scan_reserved_mem_late() unconditionally calls
alloc_reserved_mem_array() after confirming /reserved-memory exists.
Two issues with that:
- When __reserved_mem_check_root() subsequently fails, the call
returns right away, leaving the freshly allocated array unused.
- When /reserved-memory exists but fdt_scan_reserved_mem() found no
entries to save (total_reserved_mem_cnt stays at its freshly-set
value of zero, e.g. empty node or all children disabled),
alloc_reserved_mem_array() ends up calling memblock_alloc() with
zero size, which returns NULL and logs an "Failed to allocate
memory for reserved_mem array" error even though nothing was
expected to be allocated.
Move alloc_reserved_mem_array() past the root-node check and gate it
on total_reserved_mem_cnt, so the array is only allocated when there
is at least one entry that needs a slot.
Fixes: 00c9a452a235 ("of: reserved_mem: Add code to dynamically allocate reserved_mem array")
