[PATCH 0/3] eliminate remaining places that abuse memory_region_allocate_system_memory()

[PATCH 0/3] eliminate remaining places that abuse memory_region_allocate_system_memory()

[Igor Mammedov]

Series cleans up remaining boards that call memory_region_allocate_system_memory()
multiple times, violating interface contract (the function should be called only
once).

With that cleaned up, it should be possible to switch from adhoc RAM allocation
in memory_region_allocate_system_memory()->allocate_system_memory_nonnuma() to
memory-backend based allocation, remaining roadblock for doing it is deprecated
-mem-path fallback to RAM allocation, which is scheduled for removal at 4.3
merge window. So remaining patches to consolidate system RAM allocation around
memory-backends and aliasing -mem-path/mem-prealloc to it are postponed till
then.


Igor Mammedov (3):
  sparc64: use memory_region_allocate_system_memory() only for '-m'
    specified RAM
  ppc: rs6000_mc: drop usage of memory_region_allocate_system_memory()
  hppa: drop usage of memory_region_allocate_system_memory() for ROM

[PATCH 1/3] sparc64: use memory_region_allocate_system_memory() only for '-m' specified RAM

[Igor Mammedov]

memory_region_allocate_system_memory() was designed to be called for
allocating inital RAM. Using it mutiple times within one board is not
supported and could fail if -mem-path with non hugepage path is used.

Keep using memory_region_allocate_system_memory() only for initial
RAM and use memory_region_init_ram() for the rest fixed size regions.

Did we have an issue calling memory_region_allocate_system_memory() 
*after* memory_region_init_ram() by the past?
Maybe not, or it is fixed, and your patch is fine:

How do we protect the codebase for new boards to not make the same mistake?

What about some code like this snippet (or nicer, but since this is a 
developer error, and assert is enough IMO):

probably it's not worth effort (it's not too long till 4.2 softfreeze).

Like cover letter say, I'm planing to finish refactoring of
memory_region_allocate_system_memory() and I hope this function
will be gone during 4.3 and most boards will only need to map
pre-created (by common code) memory-backend wherever they used to
map RAM memory region.

I don't recall any, memory_region_init_ram() is essentially the same
as memory_region_allocate_system_memory() for most of emulated machines
(i.e. non-numa, no mem-path cases)

please merge this series via your tree.

Uhhh.. I was offering to take this patch, not the whole series.  I'm
not real comfortable taking the others, since they don't involve ppc
code, nor are they prereqs for or motivated by any ppc change.

Eduardo,

This patches are fixing various machines across tree, so series does not belong
to any particular arch specific tree, can you merge it via generic machine tree?
