Subject: [PATCH] acpi: check for pxm_to_node_map overflow
Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2009 18:17:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090228151747.GB7835@localhost> (raw)

It is hardly (if ever) possible but in case of broken _PXM
entry we could reach out of pxm_to_node_map array
bounds in acpi_map_pxm_to_node() call.

It's a patch resend. I didn't get any response on
previous submission from Len, oh :(

Len is the patch really not needed or such a situation
can't happen?
