But, there is some difficulty related to max_low_pfn. max_low_pfn is used for two meanings in various architectures. One is for number of pages in lowmem and the other is for maximum lowmem pfn. Now, in ARM, it is used as number of pages in lowmem. You can get more information in below link. http://lwn.net/Articles/543408/ http://lwn.net/Articles/543424/ As I investigated, architectures which use max_low_pfn as maximum pfn are more than others, so to change meaning of max_low_pfn to maximum pfn is preferable solution to me. This patch change max_low_pfn as maximum lowmem pfn in ARM. In addition, min_low_pfn, max_pfn is assigned according to this criteria. There is no real user for max_low_pfn except block/blk-setting.c and blk-setting.c assume that max_low_pfn is maximum lowmem pfn, so this patch may not harm anything.
