Subject: [PATCH] mm: memblock: avoid to create memmap for memblock nomap regions
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2022 00:39:32 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1649704172-13181-1-git-send-email-quic_faiyazm@quicinc.com> (raw)

This 'commit 86588296acbf ("fdt: Properly handle "no-map" field in the
memory region")' is keeping the no-map regions in memblock.memory with
MEMBLOCK_NOMAP flag set to use no-map memory for EFI using memblock api's,
but during the initialization sparse_init mark all memblock.memory as
present using for_each_mem_pfn_range, which is creating the memmap for
no-map memblock regions. To avoid it skiping the memblock.memory regions
set with MEMBLOCK_NOMAP set and with this change we will be able to save
~11MB memory for ~612MB carve out.

With change:
[    0.000000] memblock_alloc_exact_nid_raw: 115343360 bytes align=0x200000 nid=0 from=0x0000000080000000 max_addr=0x0000000000000000 sparse_buffer_init+0x60/0x8c
