From: Peng Fan <[email protected]>
There is a "mem=[x]" boot parameter, but when there is a whole reserved
by secure TEE, the continuous DRAM area is split with two memblocks.
For example, DRAM area [0x40000000, 0xffffffff], when TEE uses
[0x50000000, 0x51000000), the memblock will be split into
[0x40000000, 0x50000000) and [0x51000000, 0xffffffff].
If pass "mem=1024MB", the actually max addr will be 0x81000000.
However if need the max addr be 0x80000000, mem=1008MB should be used.
There also might be multiple other holes that no visible to Linux, when
we wanna to limit the max addr usable by Linux, using "max_addr=[X]" is
much easier than "mem=[X]"

mem= is a hack already, please don't add another one. Limiting the
memory like this is far too tricky, given that the kernel itself and
the initrd could end up in memory that is excluded, and we have to go
and fix things up if that happens.

We wanna to use the reserved memory with request_mem_region, but with
commit 86588296acbfb1 ("fdt: Properly handle "no-map" field in the memory region ")
request_mem_region will fail, because the reserved memory are now as
kernel memory.
So we use "mem=X" to work around the issue, but "mem=X" is not user friendly
compared with "max_addr=" when there are multiple holes used by others.

request_mem_region() is for MMIO. Why do you want to use it for RAM?

+ Jan, the jailhouse hypervisor owner.
There is an out of tree driver
https://github.com/siemens/jailhouse/blob/master/driver/main.c#L466
The hypervisor jailhouse is loaded after linux boot up, and the hypervisor
bin file needs to be loaded into DRAM that reserved in our device
tree with node with no map property.
And the hypervisor use virtual pci for communication between VMs,
The virtual pci use part of the reserved DRAM area as PCI MMIO space.
Maybe I should use /memreserve, but not node with no-map property.
Thanks,
Peng.

So, my understanding is that you need a chunk of memory that Linux does not
use and does not map into the kernel page tables.
In that case /memreserve + nomap in the device tree could be a better
solution than mem=X.

nomap not work now since commit
86588296acbfb1 ("fdt: Properly handle "no-map" field in the memory region ")
I need try /memreserve
BTW, do you think max_addr would be an option be added to memblock
common code mm/memblock.c?

You have a working solution with mem=1008MB, I don't see a need for
additional kernel parameter.
