      xen/swiotlb: Use page alignment for early buffer allocation. · 63a74175
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      This fixes an odd bug found on a Dell PowerEdge 1850/0RC130
      (BIOS A05 01/09/2006) where all of the modules doing pci_set_dma_mask
      would fail with:
      
      ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: enabling device (0005 -> 0007)
      ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: can't derive routing for PCI INT A
      ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: BMDMA: failed to set dma mask, falling back to PIO
      
      The issue was the Xen-SWIOTLB was allocated such as that the end of
      buffer was stradling a page (and also above 4GB). The fix was
      spotted by Kalev Leonid  which was to piggyback on git commit
      e79f86b2 "swiotlb: Use page alignment
      for early buffer allocation" which:
      
      	We could call free_bootmem_late() if swiotlb is not used, and
      	it will shrink to page alignment.
      
      	So alloc them with page alignment at first, to avoid lose two pages
      
      And doing that fixes the outstanding issue.

      xen: only limit memory map to maximum reservation for domain 0. · d3db7281
      Ian Campbell authored
      d312ae87 "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM"
      clamped the total amount of RAM to the current maximum reservation. This is
      correct for dom0 but is not correct for guest domains. In order to boot a guest
      "pre-ballooned" (e.g. with memory=1G but maxmem=2G) in order to allow for
      future memory expansion the guest must derive max_pfn from the e820 provided by
      the toolstack and not the current maximum reservation (which can reflect only
      the current maximum, not the guest lifetime max). The existing algorithm
      already behaves this correctly if we do not artificially limit the maximum
      number of pages for the guest case.
      
      For a guest booted with maxmem=512, memory=128 this results in:

      .. with new name.  Because nothing says "really solid kernel release"
      like naming it after an extinct animal that just happened to be in the
      news lately.
