Subject: [PATCH 4.0-testing 01/10] libxc: Do not use dom0 physmem as parameter to lzma decoder
Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 13:12:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360588373-779-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360588355.20449.34.camel@zakaz.uk.xensource.com>

From: Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@eu.citrix.com>

It's not clear why a userspace lzma decode would want to use that
particular value, what bearing it has on anything or why it would
assume it could use 1/3 of the total RAM in the system (potentially
quite a large amount of RAM) as opposed to any other limit number.

Instead, hardcode 32Mby.

This reverts 22830:c80960244942, removes the xc_get_physmem/physmem
function entirely, and replaces the expression at the call site with a
fixed constant.
