memblock_reserve for unadded region (was: [PATCH] MIPS: loongson64: fix boot failure)

From: Jiaxun Yang

Hi mm folks,

Just a quick question, what is the expected behavior of memblock_reserve
a region that is not added to memblock with memblock_add?

I'm unable to find any documentation about memblock_reserve in comments and
boot-time-mm, but as per my understanding to the code, this should be a legit usage?

In practical we run into uninitialized nid of reserved block problem, should we fix it
in our usage, or on memblock side?

Thanks

The root cause is no memory region "0x0-0x1fffff" paired with
memory-reserved region "0x0-0x1fffff" and "0x0-0xfff", with "memblock
=debug":

It caused memory-reserved region "0x0-0x1fffff" without valid node id
in "memblock_get_region_node" from "memmap_init_reserved_pages", lead to
"reserve_bootmem_region-> init_reserved_page -> early_pfn_to_nid()"
accessing "node_data" out of bound.

To fix this bug, we should remove unnecessary memory block reservation.

+. no need to reserve 0x0-0x1fffff below kernel loading address, since
it is not registered by "memblock_add_node"

+. no need to reserve 0x0-0xfff for exception handling if it is not
registered by "memblock_add" either.
