Linux内存活动区域其实就是全局变量e820中的内存块做了相关的检查和对其处理后的区域。在管理区初始化等地方有用到。
数据结构
- struct node_active_region {
- unsigned long start_pfn;
- unsigned long end_pfn;
- int nid;
- };
初始化
活动内存的初始化工作在setup_arch()->initmem_init()->e820_register_active_regions()中
- /* Walk the e820 map and register active regions within a node */
- void __init e820_register_active_regions(int nid, unsigned long start_pfn,
- unsigned long last_pfn)
- {
- unsigned long ei_startpfn;

- if (e820_find_active_region(&e820.map[i],/*从全局变量e820中查找活动区*/
- start_pfn, last_pfn,
- &ei_startpfn, &ei_endpfn))
- add_active_range(nid, ei_startpfn, ei_endpfn);/*加入活动区*/
- }
- /*
- * Finds an active region in the address range from start_pfn to last_pfn and
- * returns its range in ei_startpfn and ei_endpfn for the e820 entry.
- */

- /* Skip map entries smaller than a page */
- if (*ei_startpfn >= *ei_endpfn)
- return 0;
