However, the section-aligned memblock may become non-section-aligned after arm_memblock_init(). For example, the first section-aligned memblock is 0x00000000-0x01000000 and sanity_check_meminfo sets current_limit to 0x01000000. After arm_memblock_init, two memory blocks [0x00c00000 - 0x00d00000] and [0x00ff0000 - 0x01000000] are reserved by memblock_reserve() and make the original memory block [0x00000000-0x01000000] becomes: [0x00000000-0x00c00000] [0x00d00000-0x00ff0000] When creating the low memory mapping for [0x00d00000-0x00ff0000], since the memory block is non-section-aligned, it will need to create a second level page table. But the current_limit is set to 0x01000000, and it's possible to allocate a unmapped memory block. call flow: setup_arch + sanity_check_meminfo + arm_memblock_init + paging_init + map_lowmem + bootmem_init Move the memblock_set_current_limit logic to map_lowmem(), we point the memblock current_limit to the first section-aligned memblock block. Since map_lowmem() is called after arm_memblock_init(), there is no way to change memblock layout. So we can say that the first section-aligned limit is valid during map_lowmem(). Hence fix the problem described above.
