RE: [RFC PATCH 02/12] mm: introduce mirror_info

+#ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_MIRROR
+struct numa_mirror_info {
+ int node;
+ unsigned long start;
+ unsigned long size;
+};
+
+struct mirror_info {
+ int count;
+ struct numa_mirror_info info[MAX_NUMNODES];
+};

Do we really need this? My patch series leaves all the mirrored memory in
the memblock allocator tagged with the MEMBLOCK_MIRROR flag. Can't
we use that information when freeing the boot memory into the runtime
free lists?

If we can't ... then [MAX_NUMNODES] may not be enough. We may have
more than one mirrored range on each node. Current h/w allows two ranges
per node.
