Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86: Allow 1MB of slack between the e820 map and SRAT, not 4GB
Date: Fri, 08 May 2009 00:37:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A03E13E.6050107@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4A03E10C.60906@kernel.org>
It is expected that there be slight differences between the e820 map and
the SRAT table and the intention was that 1MB of slack be allowed. The
calculation comparing e820ram and pxmram assumes the units are bytes,
when they are in fact pages. This means 4GB of slack is being allowed,
not 1MB. This patch makes the correct comparison
comment is from Mel.
[ Impact: don't accept the srat that could dump 2g etc ram ]
