Well, memory notifiers are a reasonable api used accross the kernel to get notified when new memory is onlined to the buddy that could be used for allocations. highest_pfn_possible() would have to default to something linked to MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS whenever memory hotplug is configured, I am not sure how helpful that is (IOW, you can just default to enable_4GB=true in that case instead in most cases). -- Thanks, David / dhildenb _______________________________________________ iommu mailing list iommu@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/iommu
