| |
When using 64K pages with a separate cpio rootfs, U-Boot will align the rootfs on a 4K page boundary. When the memory is reserved, and subsequent early memblock_alloc is called, it will allocate memory between the 64K page alignment and reserved memory. When the reserved memory is subsequently freed, it is done so by pages, causing the early memblock_alloc requests to be re-used, which in my case, caused the device-tree to be clobbered.
This patch forces the reserved memory for initrd to be kernel page aligned, and adds the same range extension when freeing initrd.
