From 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Shin Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:15:26 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions and memory holes above 4 GB from direct mapping. On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude these from the direct mapping. [ hpa: this should be done not just for > 4 GB but for everything above the legacy region (1 MB), at the very least. That, however, turns out to require significant restructuring. That work is well underway, but is not suitable for rc/stable. ] Cc: stable@kernel.org # > 2.6.32 Signed-off-by: Jacob Shin Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1319145326-13902-1-git-send-email-jacob.shin@amd.com Signed-off-by: H.
