Message-ID: <20080328194909.GA10617@duo.random> Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:49:09 +0100 From: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@...ranet.com> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...l.org>, Yang Shi <yang.shi@...driver.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, kvm-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net Subject: regression breaks lowmem reserved RAM This is crashing at boot my lowmem reserved RAM patch. This is causing GFP_DMA allocations at boot for no good reason. It crashes in my case because there's no ram below 16M available to linux. Are you sure this is needed at all, for sure if there's any bug this isn't the right fix. Please reverse, thanks! changeset: 87150:1f7afb388483 user: Yang Shi <yang.shi@...driver.com> date: Tue Mar 04 11:20:51 2008 +0100 summary: Fix DMA access of block device in 64-bit kernel on some non-x86 systems with 4GB or upper 4GB memory diff --git a/block/blk-settings.c b/block/blk-settings.c --- a/block/blk-settings.c +++ b/block/blk-settings.c @@ -140,7 +140,7 @@ void blk_queue_bounce_limit(struct reque /* Assume anything <= 4GB can be handled by IOMMU.
