Subject: [PATCH] ia64 specific for Sizing zones and holes in an architecture independent
Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2006 06:12:47 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060829101247.GF10680@localhost> (raw)


Andrew,

Mel's latest V9 regressed slightly for ia64 FLATMEM+VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP. When 
the largest hole is greater than LARGE_GAP, vmem_map is allocated before 
free_area_init_nodes; resultant crash follows. Rather than complicate
alloc_node_mem_map just for this ia64 case, add an adjustment to node_mem_map
which is later negated by alloc_node_mem_map.

Previous to V9, the mem_map adjustment was done in the scope where allocation
is achieved in alloc_node_mem_map. The current code is more appropriate but
unfortunately caused an issue for ia64.

Please add this to the next -mm.

thanks,

bob
