Subject: [powerpc] Fix bogus BUG_ON() in in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area()
Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2006 09:23:03 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061221222303.GA6418@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Andrew, Paulus, please apply

The powerpc specific version of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() makes some
unwarranted assumptions about what checks have been made to its
parameters by its callers.  This will lead to a BUG_ON() if a 32-bit
process attempts to make a hugepage mapping which extends above
TASK_SIZE (4GB).

I'm not sure if these assumptions came about because they were valid
with earlier versions of the get_unmapped_area() path, or if it was
always broken.  Nonetheless this patch fixes the logic, and removes
the crash.
