[Patch] Allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G on X86_64

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

 



On system with huge amount of physical memory. 
VFS cache and memory memmap may eat all available system memory under
4G, then system may fail to allocated swiotlb bounce buffer. 

There was a fix in arch/x86_64/mm/numa.c, but that fix does not cover
sparsemem model.
This patch add fix to sparsemem model.
