If there are multiple reserved memory blocks via lmb_reserve() that are
contiguous addresses and on different NUMA nodes we are losing track of which 
address ranges to reserve in bootmem on which node.  I discovered this 
when I recently got to try 16GB huge pages on a system with more then 2 nodes.

When scanning the device tree in early boot we call lmb_reserve() with 
the addresses of the 16G pages that we find so that the memory doesn't 
get used for something else.  For example the addresses for the pages 
could be 4000000000, 4400000000, 4800000000, 4C00000000, etc - 8 pages, 
one on each of eight nodes.  In the lmb after all the pages have been 
reserved it will look something like the following:

lmb_dump_all:
    memory.cnt            = 0x2
    memory.size           = 0x3e80000000
    memory.region[0x0].base       = 0x0
                      .size     = 0x1e80000000
    memory.region[0x1].base       = 0x4000000000
                      .size     = 0x2000000000
    reserved.cnt          = 0x5
    reserved.size         = 0x3e80000000
    reserved.region[0x0].base       = 0x0
                      .size     = 0x7b5000
    reserved.region[0x1].base       = 0x2a00000
                      .size     = 0x78c000
    reserved.region[0x2].base       = 0x328c000
                      .size     = 0x43000
    reserved.region[0x3].base       = 0xf4e8000
                      .size     = 0xb18000
    reserved.region[0x4].base       = 0x4000000000
                      .size     = 0x2000000000


The reserved.region[0x4] contains the 16G pages.  In 
arch/powerpc/mm/num.c: do_init_bootmem() we loop through each of the 
node numbers looking for the reserved regions that belong to the 
particular node.  It is not able to identify region 0x4 as being a part 
of each of the 8 nodes.  It is assuming that a reserved region is only
on a single node.

This patch takes out the reserved region loop from inside
the loop that goes over each node.  It looks up the active region containing
the start of the reserved region.  If it extends past that active region then
it adjusts the size and gets the next active region containing it.

Changes:
	v2:
	-style changes as suggested by Adam Litke
	v3:
	-moved helper function to powerpc code since it is the only user at present
	-made end_pfn consistently exclusive
	-other minor code cleanups

Please consider for 2.6.28.

I'm going to apply it, however, could you double check something for
me ? A cursory glance of the new version makes me wonder, what if the
first call to get_node_active_region() ends up with the work_fn never
hitting the if () case ? I think in that case, node_ar->end_pfn never
gets initialized right ? Can that happen in practice ? I suspect that
isn't the case but better safe than sorry...

If there's indeed a potential problem, please send a fixup patch.

Cheers,
Ben.

I have tested this on a few machines and it hasn't been a problem.  But 
I don't see anything in lmb_reserve() that would prevent reserving a 
block that was outside of valid memory.  So to be safe I have attached a 
patch that checks for an empty active range.

I also noticed that the size to reserve for subsequent nodes for a 
reserve that spans nodes wasn't taking into account the amount reserved 
on previous nodes so the patch addresses that too.  If you would prefer 
this be a separate patch let me know.

Adjust amount to reserve based on previous nodes for reserves spanning
multiple nodes. Check if the node active range is empty before attempting
to pass the reserve to bootmem.  In practice the range shouldn't be empty,
but to be sure we check.
