[PATCH] riscv: Fix linear mapping checks for non-contiguous memory regions

Sat Jun 22 04:42:16 PDT 2024

The RISC-V kernel already has checks to ensure that memory which would
lie outside of the linear mapping is not used. However those checks
use memory_limit, which is used to implement the mem= kernel command
line option (to limit the total amount of memory, not its address
range). When memory is made up of two or more non-contiguous memory
banks this check is incorrect.

Two changes are made here:
 - add a call in setup_bootmem() to memblock_cap_memory_range() which
   will cause any memory which falls outside the linear mapping to be
   removed from the memory regions.
 - remove the check in create_linear_mapping_page_table() which was
   intended to remove memory which is outside the liner mapping based
   on memory_limit, as it is no longer needed. Note a check for
   mapping more memory than memory_limit (to implement mem=) is
   unnecessary because of the existing call to
   memblock_enforce_memory_limit().

This issue was seen when booting on a SV39 platform with two memory
banks:
  0x00,80000000 1GiB
  0x20,00000000 32GiB
This memory range is 158GiB from top to bottom, but the linear mapping
is limited to 128GiB, so the lower block of RAM will be mapped at
PAGE_OFFSET, and the upper block straddles the top of the linear
mapping.

This causes the following Oops:

The problem is that memblock (unaware that some physical memory cannot
be used) has allocated memory from the top of memory but which is
outside the linear mapping region.
