Subject: [PATCH] kernel/resource.c: fix stack overflow in __reserve_region_with_split
Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2012 18:47:54 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346114874-6862-1-git-send-email-tmac@hp.com> (raw)
Using recurvise call to try adding a non-conflicting region in the function
__reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case
that the recursive calls are too deep. Convert the recursive calls to
an iterative loop to avoid the problem.
