[PATCH] x86: trim mtrr don't close gap for resource allocation.

for
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10232

use update_memory_range instead of add_memory_range directly
to avoid closing that gap.

[Yinghai Lu]

[PATCH] mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core fix

	[PATCH] mm: fix boundary checking in free_bootmem_core

make the free_bootmem_core could handle out of range case. we could use
bdata_list to make sure the range can be freed for sure.

so next time, we don't need to loop online nodes and could use
free_bootmem directly.

[PATCH 04/12] x86_64: reserve dma32 early for gart

[PATCH] x86_64: reserve dma32 early for gart

one system with 256g when numa is disabled said:

This costs you 64 MB of RAM
Cannot allocate aperture memory hole (ffff8101c0000000,65536K)

the root cause is : memmap PMD is too big,
[ffffe200e0600000-ffffe200e07fffff] PMD ->ffff81383c000000 on node 0
almost near 4G..., and vmemmap_alloc_block will use up the ram under 4G.

solution will be:
1. make memmap allocation get memory above 4G...
2. reserve some dma32 range early before we try to set up memmap for all.
and release that before pci_iommu_alloc, so gart or swiotlb could get some
range under 4g limit for sure.

the patch is using method 2.
because method1 may need more code to handle SPARSEMEM and SPASEMEM_VMEMMAP

will get

[PATCH 05/12] mm: make mem_map allocation continuous.

[Yinghai Lu]

[PATCH] mm: make mem_map allocation continuous.

vmemmap allocation current got
 [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810002000000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810002400000 on node 0
...

there is 2M hole between them.

the rootcause is that usemap (24 bytes) will be allocated after every 2M
mem_map. and it will push next vmemmap (2M) to next align (2M).

solution:
try to allocate mem_map continously.

after patch, will get
 [ffffe20000000000-ffffe200001fffff] PMD ->ffff810001400000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000200000-ffffe200003fffff] PMD ->ffff810001600000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000400000-ffffe200005fffff] PMD ->ffff810001800000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000600000-ffffe200007fffff] PMD ->ffff810001a00000 on node 0
 [ffffe20000800000-ffffe200009fffff] PMD ->ffff810001c00000 on node 0
...
and usemap will share in page because of they are allocated continuously too.
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00000 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00080 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00100 size = 24
sparse_early_usemap_alloc: usemap = ffff810024e00180 size = 24
...

so we make the bootmem allocation more compact and use less memory for usemap.

[PATCH 06/12] mm: fix alloc_bootmem_core to use fast searching for all nodes

[Yinghai Lu]

[PATCH] mm: fix alloc_bootmem_core to use fast searching for all nodes

make the nodes other than node 0 could use bdata->last_success for fast search too.

we need to use __alloc_bootmem_core for vmemmap allocation for other nodes when
numa and sparsemem/vmemmap are enabled.

also make fail_block path increase i with incr only needed after ALIGN to avoid
extra increase when size is large than align.

[PATCH 09/12] mm: make reserve_bootmem can crossed the nodes v2

[Yinghai Lu]

[PATCH] mm: make reserve_bootmem can crossed the nodes v2

split reserve_bootmem_core to two function, one check conflicts, and one set bits.

and make reserve_bootmem to loop bdata_list to cross the nodes.

user could be crashkernel and ramdisk..., in case the range cross the nodes

v2, fix out of range check

[PATCH 10/12] x86_64: make reserve_bootmem_generic to use new reserve_bootmem

[PATCH] x86_64: make reserve_bootmem_generic to use new reserve_bootmem

	[PATCH] mm: make reserve_bootmem can crossed the nodes

provides new resever_bootmem, let reserve_bootmem_generic use that.

acctualy reserve_bootme_generic is used to reserve initramdisk.
so we can make sure even bootloader or kexec load that cross the nodes, reserve_bootmem
still works.

.25 fix, correct? But due to dependency on the mm/bootmem.c change this 
patch should go via Andrew.

[PATCH 11/12] x86_64: do not reserve ramdisk two times

[Yinghai Lu]

[PATCH] x86_64: do not reserve ramdisk two times

ramdisk is reserved via reserve_early in x86_64_start_kernel,
later early_res_to_bootmem() will convert to reservation in bootmem.

so don't need to reserve that again.

[PATCH 12/12] x86_64: fix setup_node_bootmem to support big mem excluding with memmap

[Yinghai Lu]

[PATCH] x86_64: fix setup_node_bootmem to support big mem excluding with memmap

typical case: four sockets system, every node has 4g ram, and we are using
	memmap=10g$4g to mask out memory on node1 and node2

when numa is enabled, early_node_mem is used to get node_data and node_bootmap

if it can not get from same node with find_e820_area, it will use alloc_bootmem
to get buff from previous nodes.

so check it and issue info about it.

need to move early_res_to_bootmem into every setup_node_bootmem.
and it takes range that node has. otherwise alloc_bootmem could return addr
that reserved early.

need to apply it after

Re: [PATCH] x86: trim mtrr don't close gap for resource allocation

[Jesse Barnes]

The new function could probably use some higher level comments (though the 
rest of the e820 routines seem similarly devoid of description so it's not a 
big deal).  And given that this patch fixes a regression, it should probably 
get upstream quickly.

Thanks for fixing this so quickly, Yinghai.
