Subject: [PATCH] UV: memory allocation at initialization
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:54:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E1Kt949-0000LU-0z@eag09.americas.sgi.com> (raw)



From: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com>

UV initialization is currently called too late to call alloc_bootmem_pages().
The current sequence is:

 start_kernel()
   mem_init()
     free_all_bootmem()           <--- discard of bootmem
   rest_init()
     kernel_init()
       smp_prepare_cpus()
       native_smp_prepare_cpus()
         uv_system_init()         <--- uses alloc_bootmem_pages()

It should be calling kmalloc().

Diffed against 2.6.27 (linux-next)
