Subject: [PATCH 1/3] e820_update_range(): Strip size of original region
Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2008 14:02:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1214395342-20375-2-git-send-email-bwalle@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1214395342-20375-1-git-send-email-bwalle@suse.de>
This patch fixes a bug in e820_update_range(): Previously, if a region was
partially covered, then e820_update_range() only added a new E820 range but
didn't update the end/size of the previous range. That lead to duplicate
covering of a region.
Patch tested on i386 and x86-64 with patch that uses e820_update_range()
to limit the E820 map when "mem" parameter is specified on the command line.
