Subject: [PATCH for 2.6.19] [1/9] x86_64: Fix partial page check to ensure unusable memory is not being marked usable.
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 17:08:51 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061114508.445749000@suse.de> (raw)


From: "Aaron Durbin" <adurbin@google.com>
Fix partial page check in e820_register_active_regions to ensure
partial pages are
not being marked as active in the memory pool.

---
This was causing a machine to reboot w/ an area in the e820 that was less
than the page size because the upper address was being use to mark a hole as
active in the memory pool.
