Subject: [PATCH 1/1] OvmfPkg/VirtNorFlashDxe: map flash memory as uncacheable
Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2023 19:00:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230111180023.3841167-1-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)
Switching from the ArmPlatformPkg/NorFlashDxe driver to the
OvmfPkg/VirtNorFlashDxe driver had the side effect that flash address
space got registered as EFI_MEMORY_WC instead of EFI_MEMORY_UC.
That confuses the linux kernel's numa code, seems this makes kernel
consider the flash being node memory. "lsmem" changes from ...
RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK
0x0000000040000000-0x000000013fffffff 4G online yes 8-39
... to ...
RANGE SIZE STATE REMOVABLE BLOCK
0x0000000000000000-0x0000000007ffffff 128M online yes 0
0x0000000040000000-0x000000013fffffff 4G online yes 8-39
... and in the kernel log got new error lines:
NUMA: Warning: invalid memblk node 512 [mem 0x0000000004000000-0x0000000007ffffff]
NUMA: Faking a node at [mem 0x0000000004000000-0x000000013fffffff]
Changing the attributes back to EFI_MEMORY_UC fixes this.
