Subject: PATCH] mm: Use alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic on really needed path
Date: Fri, 06 May 2011 15:29:41 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DC47655.5040201@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4DC3B6C6.7000704@the2masters.de>


Stefan found nobootmem does not work on his system that only have 8M ram.

It turns out we should ignore the low limit the 16M.

Use alloc_bootmem_node_nopanic in those calling.
