So, in > xen_ram_init, user_lowmem is not 0. Ah, I see. We do the split calculation twice on xen. That is pretty pointless. New patch attached. cheers, Gerd From a1bb0d4f7a94e97102e7ea72d0a65de2a17b1160 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gerd Hoffmann Date: Thu, 23 Jun 2016 16:49:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] xen: fix ram init regression Commit "8156d48 pc: allow raising low memory via max-ram-below-4g option" causes a regression on xen, because it uses a different memory split. This patch initializes max-ram-below-4g to zero and leaves the initialization to the memory initialization functions. That way they can pick different default values (max-ram-below-4g is zero still) or use the user supplied value (max-ram-below-4g is non-zero). Also skip the whole ram split calculation on Xen. xen_ram_init() does its own split calculation anyway so it is superfluous, also this way xen_ram_init can actually see whenever max-ram-below-4g is zero or not.
