[PATCH v10 1/2] of: reserved_mem: Restruture how the reserved memory regions are processed

From: Oreoluwa Babatunde
Date: Tue Oct 08 2024 - 18:08:23 EST


Reserved memory regions defined in the devicetree can be broken up into
two groups:
i) Statically-placed reserved memory regions
i.e. regions defined with a static start address and size using the
"reg" property.
ii) Dynamically-placed reserved memory regions.
i.e. regions defined by specifying an address range where they can be
placed in memory using the "alloc_ranges" and "size" properties.

These regions are processed and set aside at boot time.
This is done in two stages as seen below:

Stage 1:
At this stage, fdt_scan_reserved_mem() scans through the child nodes of
the reserved_memory node using the flattened devicetree and does the
following:

1) If the node represents a statically-placed reserved memory region,
i.e. if it is defined using the "reg" property:
- Call memblock_reserve() or memblock_mark_nomap() as needed.
- Add the information for that region into the reserved_mem array
using fdt_reserved_mem_save_node().
i.e. fdt_reserved_mem_save_node(node, name, base, size).

2) If the node represents a dynamically-placed reserved memory region,
i.e. if it is defined using "alloc-ranges" and "size" properties:
- Add the information for that region to the reserved_mem array with
the starting address and size set to 0.
i.e. fdt_reserved_mem_save_node(node, name, 0, 0).
Note: This region is saved to the array with a starting address of 0
because a starting address is not yet allocated for it.

Stage 2:
After iterating through all the reserved memory nodes and storing their
relevant information in the reserved_mem array,fdt_init_reserved_mem() is
called and does the following:

1) For statically-placed reserved memory regions:
- Call the region specific init function using
__reserved_mem_init_node().
2) For dynamically-placed reserved memory regions:
- Call __reserved_mem_alloc_size() which is used to allocate memory
for each of these regions, and mark them as nomap if they have the
nomap property specified in the DT.
- Call the region specific init function.

The current size of the resvered_mem array is 64 as is defined by
MAX_RESERVED_REGIONS. This means that there is a limitation of 64 for
how many reserved memory regions can be specified on a system.
As systems continue to grow more and more complex, the number of
reserved memory regions needed are also growing and are starting to hit
this 64 count limit, hence the need to make the reserved_mem array
dynamically sized (i.e. dynamically allocating memory for the
reserved_mem array using membock_alloc_*).

On architectures such as arm64, memory allocated using memblock is
writable only after the page tables have been setup. This means that if
the reserved_mem array is going to be dynamically allocated, it needs to
happen after the page tables have been setup, not before.

Since the reserved memory regions are currently being processed and
added to the array before the page tables are setup, there is a need to
change the order in which some of the processing is done to allow for
the reserved_mem array to be dynamically sized.

It is possible to process the statically-placed reserved memory regions
without needing to store them in the reserved_mem array until after the
page tables have been setup because all the information stored in the
array is readily available in the devicetree and can be referenced at
any time.
Dynamically-placed reserved memory regions on the other hand get
assigned a start address only at runtime, and hence need a place to be
stored once they are allocated since there is no other referrence to the
start address for these regions.

Hence this patch changes the processing order of the reserved memory
regions in the following ways:

Step 1:
fdt_scan_reserved_mem() scans through the child nodes of
the reserved_memory node using the flattened devicetree and does the
following:

1) If the node represents a statically-placed reserved memory region,
i.e. if it is defined using the "reg" property:
- Call memblock_reserve() or memblock_mark_nomap() as needed.

2) If the node represents a dynamically-placed reserved memory region,
i.e. if it is defined using "alloc-ranges" and "size" properties:
- Call __reserved_mem_alloc_size() which will:
i) Allocate memory for the reserved region and call
memblock_mark_nomap() as needed.
ii) Call the region specific initialization function using
fdt_init_reserved_mem_node().
iii) Save the region information in the reserved_mem array using
fdt_reserved_mem_save_node().

Step 2:
1) This stage of the reserved memory processing is now only used to add
the statically-placed reserved memory regions into the reserved_mem
array using fdt_scan_reserved_mem_reg_nodes(), as well as call their
region specific initialization functions.

2) This step has also been moved to be after the page tables are
setup. Moving this will allow us to replace the reserved_mem
array with a dynamically sized array before storing the rest of
these regions.
