a system with 256 GB of RAM, when NUMA is disabled crashes the following way: Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup This costs you 64 MB of RAM Cannot allocate aperture memory hole (ffff8101c0000000,65536K) Kernel panic - not syncing: Not enough memory for aperture Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.25-rc4-x86-latest.git #33 Call Trace: [<ffffffff84037c62>] panic+0xb2/0x190 [<ffffffff840381fc>] ? release_console_sem+0x7c/0x250 [<ffffffff847b1628>] ? __alloc_bootmem_nopanic+0x48/0x90 [<ffffffff847b0ac9>] ? free_bootmem+0x29/0x50 [<ffffffff847ac1f7>] gart_iommu_hole_init+0x5e7/0x680 [<ffffffff847b255b>] ? alloc_large_system_hash+0x16b/0x310 [<ffffffff84506a2f>] ? _etext+0x0/0x1 [<ffffffff847a2e8c>] pci_iommu_alloc+0x1c/0x40 [<ffffffff847ac795>] mem_init+0x45/0x1a0 [<ffffffff8479ff35>] start_kernel+0x295/0x380 [<ffffffff8479f1c2>] _sinittext+0x1c2/0x230 the root cause is : memmap PMD is too big, [ffffe200e0600000-ffffe200e07fffff] PMD ->ffff81383c000000 on node 0 almost near 4G..., and vmemmap_alloc_block will use up the ram under 4G. solution will be: 1. make memmap allocation get memory above 4G... 2. reserve some dma32 range early before we try to set up memmap for all. and release that before pci_iommu_alloc, so gart or swiotlb could get some range under 4g limit for sure. the patch is using method 2. because method1 may need more code to handle SPARSEMEM and SPASEMEM_VMEMMAP will get Your BIOS doesn't leave a aperture memory hole Please enable the IOMMU option in the BIOS setup This costs you 64 MB of RAM Mapping aperture over 65536 KB of RAM @ 4000000 Memory: 264245736k/268959744k available (8484k kernel code, 4187464k reserved, 4004k data, 724k init) Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> |
