[PATCH 0/2] mm/mm_init: don't overlap zones with kernelcore=mirror

[Mike Rapoport]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

Hi,

These patches make the behaviour of kernelcore= parameter uniform and
treat mirror just as another way to size the zones and cleanup a weird
part of the memory map initialization.

  mm/mm_init: don't overlap NORMAL and MOVABLE zones with kernelcore=mirror
  mm/mm_init: drop overlap_memmap_init()

[PATCH 1/2] mm/mm_init: don't overlap NORMAL and MOVABLE zones with kernelcore=mirror

[Mike Rapoport]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

When kernelcore or movablecore kernel parameters define size of the
NORMAL and MOVABLE zones as percents of the total memory or by absolute
value, ZONE_NORMAL is clamped at the beginning of ZONE_MOVABLE.

However, when kernelcore=mirror the ZONE_NORMAL span is not changed but
rather pages from ZONE_MOVABLE counted as absent in ZONE_NORMAL.

Make the behaviour of kernelcore= parameter uniform and treat mirror
just as another way to size the zones.

[PATCH 2/2] mm/mm_init: drop overlap_memmap_init()

[Mike Rapoport]

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>

When ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE could overlap because kernelcore=mirror
didn't reduce the span of ZONE_NORMAL, initialization of the memory map had
to skip overlapping pages during initialization of ZONE_MOVABLE to avoid
double initialization of the same struct pages.

Since kernelcore=mirror works now the same way as other variants of
kernelcore=/movablecore=, and adjusts the span of ZONE_NORMAL, there can't
be an overlap between ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE.

Remove overlap_memmap_init().
