From 4b94ffdc4163bae1ec73b6e977ffb7a7da3d06d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 16:56:22 -0800 Subject: x86, mm: introduce vmem_altmap to augment vmemmap_populate() In support of providing struct page for large persistent memory capacities, use struct vmem_altmap to change the default policy for allocating memory for the memmap array. The default vmemmap_populate() allocates page table storage area from the page allocator. Given persistent memory capacities relative to DRAM it may not be feasible to store the memmap in 'System Memory'. Instead vmem_altmap represents pre-allocated "device pages" to satisfy vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() requests.
