Re: [patch] Cleanup bootmem allocator and fix alloc_bootmem_low

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Kiran-san.

Thank you for your patch. It looks good.
However, I couldn't try your patch today.

I guess your patch is for 2.6.14-git11, right?
I tried it on my ia64 Tiger4 with NUMA emulation.
This emulation had worked well so far.

But, 2.6.14-git11 doen't boot even if your patch is not used.
(Probably, it is caused by changing efi_map walker.)

And I can't use our big true NUMA machine now.
It is used by other person. So, I have to reserve it to use again.

If I can test it, I'll notify about it ASAP.

Bye.
