lmb: rename to memblock

2010-07-14T07:14:00+00:00

via following scripts FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \ -e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g') mv $N $M done and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc. also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/ Suggested-by: Ingo Molnar Acked-by: "H.

lmb: Add lmb_free()

2010-02-03T06:39:50+00:00

We can free memory allocated with lmb_alloc() by removing it from the list of reserved LMBs. Rework lmb_remove() to allow that possibility and add lmb_free() which exploits it. BenH: Removed some useless parenthesis Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

powerpc: allow ioremap within reserved memory regions

2009-12-13T05:24:32+00:00

Add a flag to let a platform ioremap memory regions marked as reserved. This flag will be used later by the Nintendo Wii support code to allow ioremapping the I/O region sitting between MEM1 and MEM2 and marked as reserved RAM in the patch "wii: use both mem1 and mem2 as ram". This will no longer be needed when proper discontig memory support for 32-bit PowerPC is added to the kernel.

lmb: Remove __init from lmb_end_of_DRAM()

2009-08-27T19:25:26+00:00

We call lmb_end_of_DRAM() to test whether a DMA mask is ok on a machine without IOMMU, but this function is marked as __init. I don't think there's a clean way to get the top of RAM max_pfn doesn't appear to include highmem or I missed (or we have a bug :-) so for now, let's just avoid having a broken 2.6.31 by making this function non-__init and we can revisit later.

lmb: Rework lmb_dump_all() output

2009-02-11T02:38:00+00:00

The lmb_dump_all() output didn't include the RMO size, which is interesting on powerpc. The output was also a bit spacey and not well aligned, and didn't show you the end addresses. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

lmb: Fix reserved region handling in lmb_enforce_memory_limit().

2008-08-16T02:57:57+00:00

The idea of the implementation of this fix is from Michael Ellerman. This function has two loops, but they each interpret the memory_limit value differently. The first loop interprets it as a "size limit" whereas the second loop interprets it as an "address limit". Before the second loop runs, reset memory_limit to lmb_end_of_DRAM() so that it all works out. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Michael Ellerman

lmb: Fix compile warning

lib/lmb.c: In function 'lmb_dump_all': lib/lmb.c:51: warning: format '%lx' expects type 'long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'u64' Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala

lmb: Make lmb debugging more useful.

2008-05-13T00:21:55+00:00

Having to muck with the build and set DEBUG just to get lmb_dump_all() to print things isn't very useful. So use pr_info() and use an early boot param "lmb=debug" so we can simply ask users to reboot with this option when we need some debugging from them. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

lmb: Fix inconsistent alignment of size argument.

2008-05-12T23:51:15+00:00

When allocating, if we will align up the size when making the reservation, we should also align the size for the check that the space is actually available. The simplest thing is to just aling the size up from the beginning, then we can use plain 'size' throughout. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[POWERPC] Provide walk_memory_resource() for powerpc

2008-04-29T05:57:53+00:00

Provide walk_memory_resource() for 64-bit powerpc. PowerPC maintains logical memory region mapping in the lmb.memory structure. Walk through these structures and do the callbacks for the contiguous chunks.
