Subject: [PATCH 5/9] At boot, determine what zone memory will hot-add to
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2006 18:44:45 +0000 (GMT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060126184445.8550.41161.sendpatchset@skynet.csn.ul.ie> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060126184305.8550.94358.sendpatchset@skynet.csn.ul.ie>
Once ZONE_EASYRCLM is added, the x86 by default adds to ZONE_EASYRCLM and
ppc64 by default uses ZONE_DMA. This patch changes the behavior slightly on
x86 and ppc64.
o By default, ZONE_DMA is used on ppc64 and ZONE_HIGHMEM is used on x86
o If kernelcore is specified at boot time, x86 and ppc64 hotadd to ZONE_EASYRCLM
o If kernelcore and noeasyrclm is used, ppc64 will use ZONE_DMA and x86 will
use ZONE_HIGHMEM
This is a list of scenarios and what happens with different options on an
x86 with 1.5GiB of physical RAM. ./activate is a script that tries to online
all inactive physical memory.
Boot with no special parameters
- ./activate does nothing
- All high memory in HIGHMEM
Boot with mem=512MB
- Machine boots with 512MB active RAM
- ./activate adds memory to ZONE_HIGHMEM
- No memory in ZONE_EASYRCLM
Boot with kernelcore=512MB
- Machine boots with 1.5GiB RAM
- ./activate does nothing
- No memory in HIGHMEM
- Some of what would be NORMAL and all of HIGHMEM is in EASYRCLM
Boot with kernelcore=512MB mem=512MB
- Machine boots with 512MB RAM
- ./activate adds memory to ZONE_EASYRCLM
- No memory in HIGHMEM
Boot with kernelcore=512MB mem=512MB noeasyrclm
- Machine boots with 512MB RAM
- ./activate adds memory to ZONE_EASYRCLM
- No memory in HIGHMEM
- With noeasyrclm, this is identical to booting with just mem=512MB
Boot with kernelcore=1024MB mem=1024MB
- Machine boots with 1024MB RAM
- Some memory already in ZONE_HIGHMEM
- ./activate adds memory to ZONE_EASYRCLM
Boot with kernelcore=1024MB mem=1024MB noeasyrclm
- Machine boots with 1024MB RAM
- Some memory already in ZONE_EASYRCLM
- ./activate adds memory to ZONE_HIGHMEM
