[PATCHv9 11/17] x86/mm: Make e820_end_ram_pfn() cover E820_TYPE_ACPI ranges
From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Mon Mar 25 2024 - 10:34:07 EST
e820__end_of_ram_pfn() is used to calculate max_pfn which, among other
things, guides where direct mapping ends. Any memory above max_pfn is
not going to be present in the direct mapping.
e820__end_of_ram_pfn() finds the end of the ram based on the highest
E820_TYPE_RAM range. But it doesn't includes E820_TYPE_ACPI ranges into
calculation.
Despite the name, E820_TYPE_ACPI covers not only ACPI data, but also EFI
tables and might be required by kernel to function properly.
Usually the problem is hidden because there is some E820_TYPE_RAM memory
above E820_TYPE_ACPI. But crashkernel only presents pre-allocated crash
memory as E820_TYPE_RAM on boot. If the preallocated range is small, it
can fit under the last E820_TYPE_ACPI range.
Modify e820__end_of_ram_pfn() and e820__end_of_low_ram_pfn() to cover
E820_TYPE_ACPI memory.
The problem was discovered during debugging kexec for TDX guest. TDX
guest uses E820_TYPE_ACPI to store the unaccepted memory bitmap and pass
it between the kernels on kexec.
