[PATCH v1 3/3] virtio-mem: Add memory with MHP_DRIVER_MANAGED
From: David Hildenbrand
Date: Wed Apr 29 2020 - 12:08:52 EST
We don't want /sys/firmware/memmap entries and we want to indicate
our memory as "System RAM (driver managed)" in /proc/iomem. This is
especially relevant for kexec-tools, which have to be updated to
support dumping virtio-mem memory after this patch. Expected behavior in
kexec-tools:
- Don't use this memory when creating a fixed-up firmware memmap. Works
now out of the box on x86-64.
- Don't use this memory for placing kexec segments. Works now out of the
box on x86-64.
- Consider "System RAM (driver managed)" when creating the elfcorehdr
for kdump. This memory has to be dumped. Needs update of kexec-tools.
With this patch on x86-64:
/proc/iomem:
00000000-00000fff : Reserved
00001000-0009fbff : System RAM
[...]
fffc0000-ffffffff : Reserved
100000000-13fffffff : System RAM
140000000-147ffffff : System RAM (driver managed)
340000000-347ffffff : System RAM (driver managed)
348000000-34fffffff : System RAM (driver managed)
[..]
3280000000-32ffffffff : PCI Bus 0000:00
/sys/firmware/memmap:
0000000000000000-000000000009fc00 (System RAM)
000000000009fc00-00000000000a0000 (Reserved)

0000000000100000-00000000bffe0000 (System RAM)
00000000bffe0000-00000000c0000000 (Reserved)
00000000feffc000-00000000ff000000 (Reserved)
00000000fffc0000-0000000100000000 (Reserved)
0000000100000000-0000000140000000 (System RAM)
