From: Kumar Gala [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:37:27 -0600 (CST) If we add to an empty lmb region with a non-zero base we will not coalesce the number of regions done to one. This causes problems on ppc32 for the memory region as its assumed to only have one region. We can fix this be easily specially casing the initial add to just replace the dummy region. --- Posting this since Dave's looking a pulling the lmb code out into lib/ and sharing it between powerpc and sparc. (this is my git tree git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/galak/powerpc.git) I noticed this issue when I use lmb on sparc64 and I intended to bring it up eventually.
