resource: Fix generic page_is_ram() for partial RAM pages
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The System RAM walk shall skip partial RAM pages and avoid calling
func() on them. So that page_is_ram() return 0 for a partial RAM page.

In particular, it shall not call func() with len=0.
This fixes a boot time bug reported by Sachin and root caused by Thomas:

The return code is -EINVAL, so it failed in the is_ram check, which is
not too surprising

The ACPI data is not starting on a page boundary and neither does the
usable RAM area end on a page boundary. Very useful !

> ACPI: DSDT 00000000cffa3900 036CE (v01 IBM    SERLEWIS 00001000 INTL 20060912)

ACPI is trying to map DSDT at cffa3900, which results in a check
vs. cffa3000 which is the relevant page boundary. The generic is_ram
check correctly identifies that as RAM because it's in the usable
resource area. The old e820 based is_ram check does not take
overlapping resource areas into account. That's why it works.
