And it works like the following: + - If more ranges are all within one node, then from + lowest ss to the end of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE. + - If a range is within a node, then from ss to the end + of the node will be ZONE_MOVABLE. + - If a range covers two or more nodes, then from ss to + the end of the 1st node will be ZONE_MOVABLE, and all + the rest nodes will only have ZONE_MOVABLE. + If memmap is specified at the same time, the + movablemem_map will be limited within the memmap + areas. If kernelcore or movablecore is also specified, + movablemem_map will have higher priority to be + satisfied. So the administrator should be careful that + the amount of movablemem_map areas are not too large. + Otherwise kernel won't have enough memory to start. + NOTE: We don't stop users specifying the node the + kernel resides in as hotpluggable so that this + option can be used as a workaround of firmware + bugs. + MTD_Partition= [MTD] Format: <name>,<region-number>,<size>,<offset> |
