x86/boot/e820: Rename memblock_x86_fill() to e820__memblock_setup() and improve the explanations
So memblock_x86_fill() is another E820 code misnomer: - nothing in its name tells us that it's part of the E820 subsystem ... - The 'fill' wording is ambiguous and doesn't tell us whether it's a single entry or some process - while the _real_ purpose of the function is hidden, which is to do a complete setup of the (platform independent) memblock regions. So rename it accordingly, to e820__memblock_setup(). Also translate this incomprehensible and misleading comment: /* * EFI may have more than 128 entries * We are safe to enable resizing, beause memblock_x86_fill() * is rather later for x86 */ memblock_allow_resize(); The worst aspect of this comment isn't even the sloppy typos, but that it casually mentions a '128' number with no explanation, which makes one lead to the assumption that this is related to the well-known limit of a maximum of 128 E820 entries passed via legacy bootloaders. But no, the _real_ meaning of 128 here is that of the memblock subsystem, which too happens to have a 128 entries limit for very early memblock regions (which is unrelated to E820), via INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS ... So change the comment to a more comprehensible version: /* * The bootstrap memblock region count maximum is 128 entries * (INIT_MEMBLOCK_REGIONS), but EFI might pass us more E820 entries * than that - so allow memblock resizing. * * This is safe, because this call happens pretty late during x86 setup, * so we know about reserved memory regions already. (This is important * so that memblock resizing does no stomp over reserved areas.) */ memblock_allow_resize(); No change in functionality.
