[patch] bootmem: use MAX_DMA_ADDRESS instead of LOW32LIMIT

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

 



From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

__alloc_bootmem_low() and __alloc_bootmem_low_node() should use
MAX_DMA_ADDRESS as limit which is per architecture instead of a global
LOW32LIMIT. Otherwise the bootmem allocator may return addresses
to memory regions which cannot be used for DMA access.
