| |
Since applying a patch(de7f0cba96786c), release_mem_region() has been changed as called in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks because register_memory_resource() is called in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks by add_memory(). But it seems firmware dependency. If CRS are written in the PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks in ACPI DSDT Table, register_memory_resource() is called in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks. But if CRS are written in the DIMM unit in ACPI DSDT Table, register_memory_resource() is called in DIMM unit. So release_mem_region() should not be called in PAGES_PER_SECTION chunks. The patch fixes it.
