Subject: [PATCH] efi: bump up EFI_MMAP_NR_SLACK_SLOTS to 32
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2024 13:20:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241209182041.60286-1-hamzamahfooz@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
Recent platforms require more slack slots than the current value of
EFI_MMAP_NR_SLACK_SLOTS, otherwise they fail to boot. The current
workaround is to append `efi=disable_early_pci_dma` to the kernel's
cmdline. So, bump up EFI_MMAP_NR_SLACK_SLOTS to 32 to allow those
platforms to boot with the aforementioned workaround.
