AKASHI Takahiro Nov. 2, 2016, 4:51 a.m. UTC
Add memblock_cap_memory_range() which will remove all the memblock regions
except the range specified in the arguments.

This function, like memblock_mem_limit_remove_map(), will not remove
memblocks with MEMMAP_NOMAP attribute as they may be mapped and accessed
later as "device memory."
See the commit a571d4eb55d8 ("mm/memblock.c: add new infrastructure to
address the mem limit issue").

This function is used, in a succeeding patch in the series of arm64 kdump
suuport, to limit the range of usable memory, System RAM, on crash dump
kernel.
(Please note that "mem=" parameter is of little use for this purpose.)

This duplicates a bunch of the logic in memblock_mem_limit_remove_map. Can
you not implement that in terms of your new, more general, function? e.g.
by passing base == 0, and size == limit?

Obviously it's possible.
I actually talked to Dennis before about merging them,
but he was against my idea.

Oops! I thought we have reached agreement in the thread:http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-July/442817.html
