[PATCH v2 0/2] of: reserved_mem: Improve range allocations

From: Stephan Gerhold
Date: Wed Jun 14 2023 - 15:21:01 EST


Try to allocate dynamic reserved memory regions with "alloc-ranges"
close to other static regions by choosing between allocating them
bottom-up or top-down. This keeps the reserved memory regions closer
together rather than potentially having them spread all over the RAM.

Also make the allocation order of dynamic reserved memory regions
deterministic so it doesn't change randomly when adding unrelated
reserved memory regions.

Changes in v2:
- Drop explicit "allocate-bottom-up"/"allocate-top-down" properties
Instead, try to guess in the implementation based on the already
available information in the DT. (Rob)
- Drop examples that were just included to show the motivation.
They are still available on v1 if needed.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230510-dt-resv-bottom-up-v1-0-3bf68873dbed@xxxxxxxxxxx
