Thread: ia64: register memory ranges in a consistent manner




ia64: register memory ranges in a consistent manner

From: "Bob Picco" <bob.piccohp.com>

While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I
noticed a problem
related to inconsistent use of add_active_range.  There
doesn't appear any
reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should
register memory to
add_active_range with different code.  So I've changed the
code into a
common implementation.

The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling
add_active_range in
count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed.  We
were lucky with
16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules. 
count_node_pages has reserved
regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text
and data
aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages.  So linked
kernel regions
wasn't reported to add_active_regions.  This resulted in
free_initmem
causing numerous bad_page reports.  This won't occur with
this patch
because now all known memory regions are reported by
register_active_ranges.
