[PATCH] x86_64: Fix partial page check to ensure unusable memory is not being marked usable.

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

 



Fix partial page check in e820_register_active_regions to ensure
partial pages are
not being marked as active in the memory pool.

Signed-off-by: Aaron Durbin <[email protected]>

This was causing a machine to reboot w/ an area in the e820 that was less
than the page size because the upper address was being use to mark a hole as
active in the memory pool.
