From 22f8cc6e33731678e7687a18ffd0f578131edb4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stewart Smith Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 18:40:00 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] drivers: of: increase MAX_RESERVED_REGIONS to 32 There are two types of memory reservations firmware can ask the kernel to make in the device tree: static and dynamic. See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/reserved-memory/reserved-memory.txt If you have greater than 16 entries in /reserved-memory (as we do on POWER9 systems) you would get this scary looking error message: [ 0.000000] OF: reserved mem: not enough space all defined regions. This is harmless if all your reservations are static (which with OPAL on POWER9, they are). It is not harmless if you have any dynamic reservations after the 16th. In the first pass over the fdt to find reservations, the child nodes of /reserved-memory are added to a static array in of_reserved_mem.c so that memory can be reserved in a 2nd pass. The array has 16 entries. This is why, on my dual socket POWER9 system, I get that error 4 times with 20 static reservations. We don't have a problem on ppc though, as in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom.c we look at the new style /reserved-ranges property to do reservations, and this logic was introduced in 0962e8004e974 (well before any powernv system shipped). A Google search shows up no occurances of that exact error message, so we're probably safe in that no machine that people use has memory not being reserved when it should be. The simple fix is to bump the length of the array to 32 which "should be enough for everyone(TM)". The simple fix of not recording static allocations in the array would cause problems for devices with "memory-region" properties. A more future-proof fix is likely possible, although more invasive and this simple fix is perfectly suitable in the meantime while a more future-proof fix is developed.
