Subject: [patch 1/4] mm: page_alloc: remove order assumption from __free_pages_bootmem()
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2011 14:58:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1323784711-1937-2-git-send-email-hannes@cmpxchg.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1323784711-1937-1-git-send-email-hannes@cmpxchg.org>
Even though bootmem passes an order with the page to be freed,
__free_pages_bootmem() assumes that 1 << order is always BITS_PER_LONG
if non-zero. While this happens to be true, it's not really robust.
Remove that assumption and use 1 << order instead.
