[edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/Core: Merge memory map after filtering paging capability
Posted by Jian J Wang 7 years ago
Once the paging capabilities were filtered out, there might be some adjacent entries
sharing the same capabilities. It's recommended to merge those entries for the OS
compatibility purpose.

This patch makes use of existing method MergeMemoryMap() to do it. This is done by
simply turning this method from static to extern, and call it after filter code.

This patch is related to an issue described at
   https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=753

This patch is also passed test of booting follow OSs:
    Windows 10
    Windows Server 2016
    Fedora 26
    Fedora 25

This patch looks good to me -- I expect merging the memmap can only
collapse more entries into fewer entries, so the repro / test
instructions that I added to the BZ earlier, and the expected OS
behavior should remain unchanged.

I have one small suggestion: like before, I suggest keeping the local
variables up-to-date after adding the new code, so that further code
need not hunt down invariants as a starting step. Therefore, after the
MergeMemoryMap() call, how about updating MemoryMapEnd, like this:

  MemoryMapEnd = (EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTOR *)(
                   (UINT8 *)MemoryMapStart + BufferSize
                   );

I think (if Jiewen and Star agree with this suggestion) that you don't
need to post a v2 just for this.

I'm also fine with the patch if the MemoryMapEnd update is rejected.

Acked-by: Laszlo Ersek <lersek@redhat.com>

Can you please add a note to TianoCore BZ#753 when you push this?

Thanks!
Laszlo
