Subject: [PATCH 0/4] s390/mm: Fixup hugepage sw-emulated code removal
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2015 14:46:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1435927569-41132-1-git-send-email-dingel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
Heiko noticed that the current check for hugepage support on s390 is a little bit to
harsh as systems which do not support will crash.
The reason is that pageblock_order can now get negative when we set HPAGE_SHIFT to 0.
To avoid all this and to avoid opening another can of worms with enabling
HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE I think it would be best to simply allow architectures to
define their own hugepages_supported().
Thanks
Dominik
