Tiezhu Yang 419fe4c919 MIPS: Make sparse_init() using top-down allocation
[ Upstream commit 269b3a9ac538c4ae87f84be640b9fa89914a2489 ]

In the current code, if CONFIG_SWIOTLB is set, when failed to get IO TLB
memory from the low pages by plat_swiotlb_setup(), it may lead to the boot
process failed with kernel panic.

(1) On the Loongson and SiByte platform
arch/mips/loongson64/dma.c
arch/mips/sibyte/common/dma.c
void __init plat_swiotlb_setup(void)
{
	swiotlb_init(1);
}

kernel/dma/swiotlb.c
void  __init
swiotlb_init(int verbose)
{
...
	vstart = memblock_alloc_low(PAGE_ALIGN(bytes), PAGE_SIZE);
	if (vstart && !swiotlb_init_with_tbl(vstart, io_tlb_nslabs, verbose))
		return;
...
	pr_warn("Cannot allocate buffer");
	no_iotlb_memory = true;
}

phys_addr_t swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
{
...
	if (no_iotlb_memory)
		panic("Can not allocate SWIOTLB buffer earlier ...");
...
}

(2) On the Cavium OCTEON platform
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/dma-octeon.c
void __init plat_swiotlb_setup(void)
{
...
	octeon_swiotlb = memblock_alloc_low(swiotlbsize, PAGE_SIZE);
	if (!octeon_swiotlb)
		panic("%s: Failed to allocate %zu bytes align=%lx\n",
		      __func__, swiotlbsize, PAGE_SIZE);
...
}

Because IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE is 64M, if the rest size of low memory is less
than 64M when call plat_swiotlb_setup(), we can easily reproduce the panic
case.

In order to reduce the possibility of kernel panic when failed to get IO
TLB memory under CONFIG_SWIOTLB, it is better to allocate low memory as
small as possible before plat_swiotlb_setup(), so make sparse_init() using
top-down allocation.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
