Subject: [PATCH v2] MIPS: Kernel crashes on boot with SPARSEMEM + HIGHMEM enabled
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:27:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c300b67a7a723369872c0b9a023d0b2e@localhost> (raw)

From: Michael Sundius <msundius@cisco.com>

Fix 3 problems in the MIPS SPARSEMEM implementation:

1) mem_init() sets/clears PG_reserved on all pages in the HIGHMEM range
without checking to see whether the page descriptor actually exists.

2) bootmem_init() never calls memory_present() on HIGHMEM pages, so
page descriptors are never created for them if SPARSEMEM is enabled.

3) bootmem_init() calls memory_present() on lowmem pages before bootmem
is fully set up.  This is bad because memory_present() can allocate
bootmem in some circumstances (e.g. if SPARSEMEM_EXTREME ever got
enabled).
