This code assumes that it can take __pa() on NODE_DATA(). But, if NUMA is disabled, NODE_DATA() is &contig_page_data which is a kernel image symbol. __pa() is not supported for such addresses. It happens to work on x86, but it will not work on just about every other platform. There are several things to consider to fix this changeset and get it back into a state where it can be resubmitted into the tree: 1) What is the goal here wrt. allocating the usemap when NUMA is disabled. 2) What is appropriate if section_nr targetted allocation of the usemap fails. It seems to me that the pgdat and usemap should be allocated together if putting them into the same section is important. This allows us to avoid case #2 completely, and therefore we don't even need to consider how to handle such a failure. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
