Subject: [2.6.15-rc7 patch] Reject SRAT tables that don't cover all memory
Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2005 14:39:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051229133902.GD3811@stusta.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0512241930370.14098@g5.osdl.org>

Below is a patch by Andi Kleen from kernel Bugzilla #5758 fixing a 
post-2.6.14 regression.

Reject SRAT tables that don't cover all memory

Broken BIOS on Iwill reports these and it causes the bootmem
allocator to crash. Add a sanity check if all the PXMs in the
SRAT table cover all memory as reported by e820.

This patch fixes kernel Bugzilla #5758.
