Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/mm: Limit allocation of SWIOTLB on server machines
Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2020 03:21:03 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201218062103.76102-1-bauerman@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
On server-class POWER machines, we don't need the SWIOTLB unless we're a
secure VM. Nevertheless, if CONFIG_SWIOTLB is enabled we unconditionally
allocate it.
In most cases this is harmless, but on a few machine configurations (e.g.,
POWER9 powernv systems with 4 GB area reserved for crashdump kernel) it can
happen that memblock can't find a 64 MB chunk of memory for the SWIOTLB and
fails with a scary-looking WARN_ONCE:
------------[ cut here ]------------
memblock: bottom-up allocation failed, memory hotremove may be affected

software IO TLB: Cannot allocate buffer
Unless this is a secure VM the message can actually be ignored, because the
SWIOTLB isn't needed. Therefore, let's avoid the SWIOTLB in those cases.
