Subject: [PATCH v3] powerpc: properly reserve in bootmem the lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes

From: Jon Tollefson <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:18:40 -0500

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.
