Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] of: reserved_mem: allocate and map the reserved_mem array early
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2026 17:24:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008152403.766439-3-m.szyprowski@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261008152403.766439-1-m.szyprowski@samsung.com>
Get rid of the static, limited-size reserved_mem array and replace it
with array allocated by memblock_alloc_raw() and accessed through a
temporary early_memremap() mapping. Such mapping is needed for some
architectures (like ARM64), where linear map is not yet available during
early boot scan. Having a single, writeable array with all reserved
regions removes the need to perform two step initialization introduced
by commit 8a6e02d0c00e ("of: reserved_mem: Restructure how the reserved
memory regions are processed"), so all regions can be processed
directly during the early scan again.
