Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] range: Do not add new blank slot with add_range_with_merge
Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2013 13:17:02 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371154622-8929-3-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371154622-8929-1-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org>
Joshua reported: Commit cd7b304dfaf1 (x86, range: fix missing merge
during add range) broke mtrr cleanup on his setup in 3.9.5.
corresponding commit in upstream is fbe06b7bae7c.
The reason is add_range_with_merge could generate blank spot.
We could avoid that by searching new expanded start/end, that
new range should include all connected ranges in range array.
At last add the new expanded start/end to the range array.
Also move up left array so do not add new blank slot in the
range array.
-v2: move left array to avoid enhance add_range()
-v3: include fix from Joshua about memmove declaring when
DYN_DEBUG is used.
