[PATCH 10/21] memblock: refactor internal allocation functions

Mike Rapoport
2019-01-16T13:44:10Z

Currently, memblock has several internal functions with overlapping
functionality. They all call memblock_find_in_range_node() to find free
memory and then reserve the allocated range and mark it with kmemleak.
However, there is difference in the allocation constraints and in fallback
strategies.

The allocations returning physical address first attempt to find free
memory on the specified node within mirrored memory regions, then retry on
the same node without the requirement for memory mirroring and finally fall
back to all available memory.

The allocations returning virtual address start with clamping the allowed
range to memblock.current_limit, attempt to allocate from the specified
node from regions with mirroring and with user defined minimal address. If
such allocation fails, next attempt is done with node restriction lifted.
Next, the allocation is retried with minimal address reset to zero and at
last without the requirement for mirrored regions.

Let's consolidate various fallbacks handling and make them more consistent
for physical and virtual variants. Most of the fallback handling is moved
to memblock_alloc_range_nid() and it now handles node and mirror fallbacks.

The memblock_alloc_internal() uses memblock_alloc_range_nid() to get a
physical address of the allocated range and converts it to virtual address.

The fallback for allocation below the specified minimal address remains in
memblock_alloc_internal() because memblock_alloc_range_nid() is used by CMA
with exact requirement for lower bounds.

The memblock_phys_alloc_nid() function is completely dropped as it is not
used anywhere outside memblock and its only usage can be replaced by a call
to memblock_alloc_range_nid().
