[PATCH 07/11] x86, memblock: Set lowest limit for memblock_alloc_base_nid().

From: Tang Chen
Date: Tue Aug 27 2013 - 05:41:45 EST


memblock_alloc_base_nid() is a common API of memblock. And it calls
memblock_find_in_range_node() with %start = 0, which means it has no
limit for the lowest address by default.

memblock_find_in_range_node(0, max_addr, size, align, nid);

Since we introduced current_limit_low to memblock, if we have no limit
for the lowest address or we are not sure, we should pass
MEMBLOCK_ALLOC_ACCESSIBLE to %start so that it will be limited by the
default low limit.

dma_contiguous_reserve() and setup_log_buf() will eventually call
memblock_alloc_base_nid() to allocate memory. So if the allocation order
is from low to high, they will allocate memory from the lowest limit
to higher memory.
