Subject: [PATCH] x86-efi: Reduce maximum bounce buffer size to 16 MiB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The EFI linux loader allocates a bounce buffer to copy the initrd since in
|
||
|
|
some machines doing DMA on addresses above 4GB is not possible during EFI.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But the verifiers framework also allocates a buffer to copy the initrd in
|
||
|
|
its grub_file_open() handler. It does this since the data to verify has to
|
||
|
|
be passed as a single chunk to modules that use the verifiers framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the initrd image size is big there may not be enough memory in the heap
|
||
|
|
to allocate two buffers of that size. This causes an allocation failure in
|
||
|
|
the verifiers framework and leads to the initrd not being read.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To prevent these allocation failures, let's reduce the maximum size of the
|
||
|
|
bounce buffer used in the EFI loader. Since the data read can be copied to
|
||
|
|
the actual initrd address in multilple chunks.
|
||
|
|
|
||
