powerpc: Reserve in bootmem lmb reserved regions that cross NUMA nodes
If there are multiple reserved memory blocks via lmb_reserve() that are contiguous addresses and on different NUMA nodes we are losing track of which address ranges to reserve in bootmem on which node. I discovered this when I recently got to try 16GB huge pages on a system with more then 2 nodes. When scanning the device tree in early boot we call lmb_reserve() with the addresses of the 16G pages that we find so that the memory doesn't get used for something else. For example the addresses for the pages could be 4000000000, 4400000000, 4800000000, 4C00000000, etc - 8 pages, one on each of eight nodes. In the lmb after all the pages have been reserved it will look something like the following: lmb_dump_all: memory.cnt = 0x2 memory.size = 0x3e80000000 memory.region[0x0].base = 0x0 .size = 0x1e80000000 memory.region[0x1].base = 0x4000000000 .size = 0x2000000000 reserved.cnt = 0x5 reserved.size = 0x3e80000000 reserved.region[0x0].base = 0x0 .size = 0x7b5000 reserved.region[0x1].base = 0x2a00000 .size = 0x78c000 reserved.region[0x2].base = 0x328c000 .size = 0x43000 reserved.region[0x3].base = 0xf4e8000 .size = 0xb18000 reserved.region[0x4].base = 0x4000000000 .size = 0x2000000000 The reserved.region[0x4] contains the 16G pages. In arch/powerpc/mm/num.c: do_init_bootmem() we loop through each of the node numbers looking for the reserved regions that belong to the particular node. It is not able to identify region 0x4 as being a part of each of the 8 nodes. It is assuming that a reserved region is only on a single node. This patch takes out the reserved region loop from inside the loop that goes over each node. It looks up the active region containing the start of the reserved region. If it extends past that active region then it adjusts the size and gets the next active region containing it.
