Re: [v5.4 stable] arm: stm32: Regression observed on "no-map" reserved memory region

FWIW I did test this on Qemu before posting. With 5.12-rc8 and a 1MiB
no-map region at 0x80000000, I have the following:

  13f7f4000-13f7fdfff : reserved
  13f7fe000-13fffffff : reserved

If I remove the 'no-map' qualifier from DT, I get this:

40000000-13fffffff : System RAM
  40210000-417fffff : Kernel code
  41800000-41daffff : reserved
  41db0000-4210ffff : Kernel data
  48000000-48008fff : reserved
  80000000-800fffff : reserved
  fa000000-ffffffff : reserved
  13b000000-13f5fffff : reserved
  13f6de000-13f77dfff : reserved
  13f77e000-13f77efff : reserved
  13f77f000-13f7dafff : reserved
  13f7dd000-13f7defff : reserved
  13f7df000-13f7dffff : reserved
  13f7e0000-13f7f3fff : reserved
  13f7f4000-13f7fdfff : reserved
  13f7fe000-13fffffff : reserved

So this does seem to be working fine on my setup. I'll try again with
5.4 to see if I can repro.

I just ran the same experiment on v5.4.102 which is where the
regression was reported, and I'm seeing the same correct result...

Also, 8a5a75e5e9e5 ("of/fdt: Make sure no-map does not remove already
reserved regions") looks more likely to cause the issue observed here,
but that shouldn't be silent. I get the following error message in dmesg
if I if place the no-map region on top of the kernel image:

OF: fdt: Reserved memory: failed to reserve memory for node 'foobar@40210000': base 0x0000000040210000, size 1 MiB

Is that triggering on your end?

So that really sounds like the cause of the issue here, though arguably
this should be indicative a something funny in the DT.

Thanks,
Quentin
