[PATCH] don't pass mem_map into init functions
When using CONFIG_NONLINEAR, a zone's mem_map isn't contiguous, and isn't allocated in the same place. This means that nonlinear doesn't really have a mem_map[] to pass into free_area_init_node() or memmap_init_zone() which makes any sense. So, this patch removes the 'struct page *mem_map' argument to both of those functions. All non-NUMA architectures just pass a NULL in there, which is ignored. The solution on the NUMA arches is to pass the mem_map in via the pgdat, which works just fine. To replace the removed arguments, a call to pfn_to_page(node_start_pfn) is made. This is valid because all of the pfn_to_page() implementations rely only on the pgdats, which are already set up at this time. Plus, the pfn_to_page() method should work for any future nonlinear-type code. Finally, the patch creates a function: node_alloc_mem_map(), which I plan to effectively #ifdef out for nonlinear at some future date. Compile tested and booted on SMP x86, NUMAQ, and ppc64. From: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@engr.sgi.com> Fix up ia64 specific memory map init function in light of Dave's memmap_init cleanups. Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@sgi.com> From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Looks like I missed a couple of architectures. This patch, on top of my previous one and Jesse's should clean up the rest. From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> x86-64 wouldn't compile with NUMA support on, as node_alloc_mem_map() references mem_map outside #ifdefs on CONFIG_NUMA/CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM. This patch wraps that reference in such an #ifdef. From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> Initializing NODE_DATA(nid)->node_mem_map prior to calling it should do. From: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Rick, I bet you didn't think your nerf weapons would be so effective in getting that compile error fixed, did you? Applying the attached patch and commenting out this line: arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c: In function `proc_unknown_nmi_panic': arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c:558: too few arguments to function `proc_dointvec' will let it compile.
