Yet, it's overhead in terms of the memory consumption seems to overweight the savings on the unused memory map. For a ARAnyM system with 16 MBytes of FastRAM configured, the memory usage reported after page allocator initialization is Memory: 23828K/30720K available (3206K kernel code, 535K rwdata, 936K rodata, 768K init, 193K bss, 6892K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) and with DISCONTIGMEM disabled and with relatively large hole in the memory map it is: Memory: 23864K/30720K available (3197K kernel code, 516K rwdata, 936K rodata, 764K init, 179K bss, 6856K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) Moreover, since m68k already has custom pfn_valid() it is possible to define HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID to enable freeing of unused memory map. The minimal size of a hole that can be freed should not be less than MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES so to achieve more substantial memory savings let m68k also define custom FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER. With FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER set to 9 memory usage becomes: Memory: 23880K/30720K available (3197K kernel code, 516K rwdata, 936K rodata, 764K init, 179K bss, 6840K reserved, 0K cma-reserved) Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport --- arch/m68k/Kconfig.cpu | 26 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/m68k/Kconfig.cpu b/arch/m68k/Kconfig.cpu index 3af0fca03803..763bc80a27aa 100644 --- a/arch/m68k/Kconfig.cpu +++ b/arch/m68k/Kconfig.cpu @@ -21,6 +21,7 @@ choice config M68KCLASSIC bool "Classic M68K CPU family support" select NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES if DISCONTIGMEM + select HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID if FLATMEM && !SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK config COLDFIRE bool "Coldfire CPU family support" @@ -378,11 +379,34 @@ config SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK help Ignore all but the first contiguous chunk of physical memory for VM purposes.
