Subject: [PATCH 06/11] xen/setup: Skip over 1st gap after System RAM.
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 17:44:31 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1296513876-31415-7-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1296513876-31415-1-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

If the kernel is booted with dom0_mem=max:512MB and the
machine has more than 512MB of RAM, the E820 we get is:

Xen: 0000000000100000 - 0000000020000000 (usable)
Xen: 00000000b7ee0000 - 00000000b7ee3000 (ACPI NVS)

while in actuality it is:

(XEN)  0000000000100000 - 00000000b7ee0000 (usable)
(XEN)  00000000b7ee0000 - 00000000b7ee3000 (ACPI NVS)

Based on that, we would determine that the "gap" between
0x20000 -> 0xb7ee0 is not System RAM and try to assign it to
1-1 mapping. This meant that later on when we setup the page tables
we would try to assign those regions to DOMID_IO and the
Xen hypervisor would fail such operation. This patch
guards against that and sets the "gap" to be after the first
non-RAM E820 region.
