Subject: Fix for xen guest with mem > 3.7G
Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 21:16:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1221333418.6036.9.camel@sirius> (raw)
Xen domU kernel 2.6.26 and 2.6.27-rc cannot allocate
more than 3.7GB of ram on my PAE systems (compiled
with gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)).
I have found the problem is in function xen_memory_setup (in
arch/x86/xen/setup.c).
It set max_pfn as 'unsigned long' but add_memory_region()
takes 'unsigned long long'.
I do not know if it is a compiler problem but this is the simple fix
(works on my systems):

+++ setup.c 2008-09-13 20:35:29.000000000 +0200
@@ -36,7 +36,7 @@
char * __init xen_memory_setup(void)
{
- unsigned long max_pfn = xen_start_info->nr_pages;
+ unsigned long long max_pfn = xen_start_info->nr_pages;
e820.nr_map = 0;
add_memory_region(0, LOWMEMSIZE(), E820_RAM);
