But it shoule be phys_addr_t because it is used to store the return value from __memblock_find_range_bottom_up(). The bug has not been triggered because when allocating low memory near the kernel end, the "int ret" won't turn out to be minus. When we started to allocate memory on other nodes, and the "int ret" could be minus. Then the kernel will panic. A simple way to reproduce this: comment out the following code in numa_init(), memblock_set_bottom_up(false); and the kernel won't boot.Which kernel versions need this fix?
This bug has been in the kernel since v3.13-rc1. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
