When limiting memory size via kernel parameter "mem=" this should be respected even in case of memory made accessible via a PCI card. Today this kind of memory won't be made usable in initial memory setup as the memory won't be visible in E820 map, but it might be added when adding PCI devices due to corresponding ACPI table entries. Not respecting "mem=" can be corrected by adding a global max_mem_size variable set by parse_memopt() which will result in rejecting adding memory areas resulting in a memory size above the allowed limit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
