Subject: powerpc: always trim to numa memory to lmb_end_of_DRAM
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:37:04 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <trim-iommu-t2@bga.com> (raw)
numa_enforce_memory_limit tried to be smart and only call lmb_end_of_DRAM
when a memory limit was set via mem= on the command line. However,
the early boot code will also limit memory added to the lmb system
when iommu=off is specified. When this happens, the page allocator
is given pages not in the linear mapping and this results in a fatal
data reference to the unmapped page.

Changelog edited. Patch compiled on next-20081017
A previous version of this patch, id 11774, also looked if if iommu=off
was specified, but it was requested that the check just be removed.
