Subject: [RFC 4/7] powerpc/mm: Set MAX_ZONE_PFN to 0 for all zones beyond TOP_ZONE
Date: Tue,  3 May 2016 11:59:23 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462256966-19321-5-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1462256966-19321-1-git-send-email-khandual@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: Oliver O'Halloran <oohall@gmail.com>

All the memory zones past TOP_ZONE are managed by generic mm code. Zone
max PFN should be set to 0 instead of ~0UL since that's what the generic
mm code expects. Without this, kernel assigns all pages into ZONE_DEVICE
zone which is not part of buddy allocator, hence kernel cannot allocate
any memory and even fails to boot.
