Subject: [PATCH x86/urgent] x86: Disable AMD_NUMA for 32bit for now
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 10:34:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110711083432.GC943@htj.dyndns.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4E181477.5090405@zytor.com>
Commit 2706a0bf7b "x86, NUMA: Enable CONFIG_AMD_NUMA on 32bit too"
enabled AMD NUMA for 32bit too. Unfortunately, SPARSEMEM on 32bit had
rather coarse (512MiB) addr->node mapping granularity due to lack of
space in page->flags. This led to boot failure on certain AMD NUMA
machines which had 128MiB alignment on nodes.
Patches to properly detect this condition and reject NUMA
configuration are posted[1] but deemed too pervasive for merge at this
point (-rc6). Disable AMD NUMA for 32bit for now and re-enable once
the detection logic is merged.
