[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.11 27/52] sparc32: Limit memblock allocation to low memory

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-03-02 12:36:32
Also in: lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: sparc + ultrasparc (sparc/sparc64), the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Andreas Larsson, Linus Torvalds

From: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com>

[ Upstream commit bda166930c37604ffa93f2425426af6921ec575a ]

Commit cca079ef8ac29a7c02192d2bad2ffe4c0c5ffdd0 changed sparc32 to use
memblocks instead of bootmem, but also made high memory available via
memblock allocation which does not work together with e.g. phys_to_virt
and can lead to kernel panic.

This changes back to only low memory being allocatable in the early
stages, now using memblock allocation.
