From: Bob Picco Date: Sat, 20 May 2006 22:00:31 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e984bb43f7450312ba66fe0e67a99efa6be3b246;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [PATCH] Align the node_mem_map endpoints to a MAX_ORDER boundary Andy added code to buddy allocator which does not require the zone's endpoints to be aligned to MAX_ORDER. An issue is that the buddy allocator requires the node_mem_map's endpoints to be MAX_ORDER aligned. Otherwise __page_find_buddy could compute a buddy not in node_mem_map for partial MAX_ORDER regions at zone's endpoints. page_is_buddy will detect that these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks for zone boundary conditions. SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for node_mem_map.
