------------------------------------------------------ From: Mike Rapoport rppt@linux.ibm.com Subject: mm: memblock: do not enforce current limit for memblock_phys* family

Until commit 92d12f9544b7 ("memblock: refactor internal allocation functions") the maximal address for memblock allocations was forced to memblock.current_limit only for the allocation functions returning virtual address. The changes introduced by that commit moved the limit enforcement into the allocation core and as a result the allocation functions returning physical address also started to limit allocations to memblock.current_limit.

This caused breakage of etnaviv GPU driver:

[ 3.682347] etnaviv etnaviv: bound 130000.gpu (ops gpu_ops) [ 3.688669] etnaviv etnaviv: bound 134000.gpu (ops gpu_ops) [ 3.695099] etnaviv etnaviv: bound 2204000.gpu (ops gpu_ops) [ 3.700800] etnaviv-gpu 130000.gpu: model: GC2000, revision: 5108 [ 3.723013] etnaviv-gpu 130000.gpu: command buffer outside valid memory window [ 3.731308] etnaviv-gpu 134000.gpu: model: GC320, revision: 5007 [ 3.752437] etnaviv-gpu 134000.gpu: command buffer outside valid memory window [ 3.760583] etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: model: GC355, revision: 1215 [ 3.766766] etnaviv-gpu 2204000.gpu: Ignoring GPU with VG and FE2.0

Restore the behaviour of memblock_phys* family so that these functions will not enforce memblock.current_limit.
