Right,

I think just this one patch 3/6 on top of -rc2 should work:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/29/223

That would be a simpler path for 3.7,

It doesn't apply easily (for me) on top of 3.7-rc2 however.  Happy to
test a patch on top of 3.7-rc2 when you're able to.

This boots but I'm bisecting another failure later on and can't post the

Ah, sorry, this one should apply on top of 3.7-rc2:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/24/469

Could you try that? Just that single patch, not the whole patchset.

Thanks for testing!

hpa, so sorry, but it looks like we need one more patch [PATCH 2/5] x86:
find_early_table_space based on memory ranges that are being mapped:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/24/469

on top of this, because find_early_table_space calculation does not come out
correctly for this particular E820 table that Tom has:

  http://pastebin.com/4eSPEAvB

The reason why we hit this now, and never hit it before is because before the
start was hard coded to 1UL<<32.

I'm afraid that  we may need add more patches to make v3.7 really
handle every corner case.

During testing, I found more problem:
1. E820_RAM and E820_RESEVED_KERN
   EFI change some E820_RAM to E820_RESREVED_KERN to cover
   efi setup_data. and will pass to e820_saved, to next kexec-ed kernel.
  So we can use E820_RAM to loop it, and should still E820_RAM and
E820_RESERVED_KERN combined.
  otherwise will render page table with small pages, or every some partial
  is not covered.
  So i change to for_each_mem_pfn_range(), we fill the memblock with
  E820_RAM and E820_RESERVED_KERN, and memblock will merge
  range together, that will make mapping still use big page size.

2. partial page:
   E820 or user could pass memmap that  is not page aligned.
   old cold will guarded by max_low_pfn and max_pfn. so the end partial
   page will be trimmed down, and memblock can one use it.
   middle partial page will still get covered by directly mapping, and
memblock still can use them.
   Now we will not map middle partial page and memblock still try to use it
we could get panic when accessing those pages.

So I would suggest to just revert that temporary patch at this time,
and later come out one complete patch for stable kernels.

Thanks

Yinghai

Does EFI do this on above 4G memory? All the EFI BIOSes we have in house looked
to be only touching under 4G.

I don't think we can rely on what is happening right now anyway.

So the issue is that two E820 RAM ranges (or ACPI, or kernel-reserved)
are immediately adjacent on a non-page-aligned address?  Or is there a
gap in between and memblock is still expecting to use it?

We should not map a partial page at the end of RAM; it is functionally
lost.  Two immediately adjacent pages could be coalesced, but not a
partial page that abuts I/O space (and yes, such abortions can happen in
the real world.)

However, the issue obviously is that what we can realistically put in
3.7 or stable is limited at this point.

yes. or the user take out range that is not page aligned.

yes, current implementation is.  and init_memory_mapping map those partial pages
and holes.

Now we did not, we have max_low_pfn, and max_pfn to cap out end partial page.

ok, let's see if we can meet this extreme corner case except user
specify not page aligned "memmap="

If it is *only* memmap= there is a very simple solution: if the memmap
is RAM then we round up the starting address and round down the end
address; if the memmap is not RAM then we round up instead...

Well, it is not just end of RAM, which is where the entire current

ok, I will fix that from memblock_x86_fill().

after we put the E820_RAM  and E820_RESERVED_KERN in to memblock, do
one trim in memblock.memory.

Yeah, well, that just *will* happen... that's a given.

We can trim those ranges, though.  Who cares if we lose some RAM.

please check attached two patches that handle partial pages for 3.7.

and you still need patch in

We will not map partial pages, so need to make sure memblock
allocation will not allocate those bytes out.

Also we will use for_each_mem_pfn_range() to loop to map memory
range to keep them consistent.

We need to handle E820_RAM and E820_RESERVED_KERNEL at the same time.

Also memblock has page aligned range for ram, so we could avoid mapping
partial pages.

hpa, we need this patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/24/469 and the above
2 from Yinghai to handle corner case E820 layouts.

I got an email from Greg KH that 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a is
queued for stable, so these need to go to stable as well.

Thanks,

I can apply Yinghai's patches, but the above patch no longer applies.
Could you refresh it on top of tip:x86/u, please?

x86, mm: Trim memory in memblock to be page aligned

We will not map partial pages, so need to make sure memblock
allocation will not allocate those bytes out.

Also we will use for_each_mem_pfn_range() to loop to map memory
range to keep them consistent.

Sorry about that, it applied to Linus's 3.7-rc2 so I just assumed .. :-(

Current logic finds enough space for direct mapping page tables from 0

init_memory_mapping()

This is needed after 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a, to address

As a final follow-up, v3.7-rc3 does not have the problem I reported
previously.

BUG: 1bbbbe7 (x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions...) PANIC on boot

[Tom Rini]

Hello all,

I grabbed 3.7-rc2 and found the following on boot:
PANIC: early exception 08 rip 246:10 error 81441d7f cr2 0

A git bisect says that this problems came from:
1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a is the first bad commit
commit 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a

    x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions and memory holes above 4 GB from direct mapping.
    
    On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a
    reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude
    these from the direct mapping.


The box in question is an Asus motherboard with AMD Phenom(tm) II X6
1100T and 16GB memory.  Happy to provide any other information required.
