Subject: [PATCH v2] mm: memblock: fix wrong memmove size in memblock_merge_regions()
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2013 11:41:36 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1357530096-28548-1-git-send-email-linfeng@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
The memmove span covers from (next+1) to the end of the array, and the index
of next is (i+1), so the index of (next+1) is (i+2). So the size of remaining
array elements is (type->cnt - (i + 2)).
