The bottom up mode has the downside of allocating memory below MAX_DMA_ADDRESS. I'd like to check if memblock_set_current_limit(max_low_pfn) will also fix the issue, at least with the limited tests I can do with qemu. > I notice you submitted this as part of your larger series to remove > bootmem - are you still happy for me to take this one through mips-next? Sure, I've just posted it as the part of the larger series for completeness. I believe that in the next few days I'll be able to verify whether memblock_set_current_limit() can be used instead of memblock_set_bottom_up() and I'll resend the patch then. > Thanks, > Paul > -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
