[PATCH v3 1/2] x86/mm: Add an option to change the padding used for the physical memory mapping
From: Masayoshi Mizuma
Date: Tue Sep 04 2018 - 11:12:00 EST
From: Masayoshi Mizuma <m.mizuma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
If each node of physical memory layout has huge space for hotplug,
the padding used for the physical memory mapping section is not enough.
For exapmle of the layout:
SRAT: Node 6 PXM 4 [mem 0x100000000000-0x13ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 7 PXM 5 [mem 0x140000000000-0x17ffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 2 PXM 6 [mem 0x180000000000-0x1bffffffffff] hotplug
SRAT: Node 3 PXM 7 [mem 0x1c0000000000-0x1fffffffffff] hotplug
We can increase the padding by CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY_PHYSICAL_PADDING,
however, the needed padding size depends on the system environment.
The kernel option is better than changing the config.
Change log from v2:
- Simplify the description. As Baoquan said, this is simillar SGI UV issue,
but a little different. Remove SGI UV description.
