Subject: [PATCH] x86: remove wrong -1 in calling init_memory_mapping
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:03:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49061E86.6080408@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>
impact: make memory hot plug got last page mapped.
Shuahua Li found:
Round up address to a page, otherwise the last page isn't mapped.
No, I just did some experiments on a desktop for memory hotplug and this bug
triggered a crash in my test.
Yinghai's suggestion also fixed the bug. I just want to have safer method. Anyway, either approach is ok to me.
So acctually we don't need to round it.
just remove that extra -1
