Hi,
Another slight problem I have with aarch64 Fedora 27 on my Raspberry Pi 3, is that it spews out console messages of the form
alloc_contig_range: ... PFNs busy
Essentially, it's the same behaviour as what's described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1387793, but I'm seeing different address ranges, like [30f00, 31f00), [31000, 32000) and [31800, 32800). There are some more variants, but this morning, they all have one of the 3 starting points indicated here.
Questions:
Has there been any development related to this issue? Should I file another Bugzilla report - seeing as the original one is closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA and belongs to a different release? Is there anything I can do to get around the problem, or at least suppress the error messages? (They kind of get in my way right now as I'm experimenting with a framebuffer application.)
They are around the memory usage of the GPU with CMA, they're mostly informational/informative and not a bug per say, so they're not really going to be fixed. Updating/opening a new bug will basically just be ignored/closed because I'm not going to modify/patch the kernel from upstream based on something that's mildly annoying in the console.
