Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Fix partial page check to ensure unusable memory is not being marked usable.
Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2006 13:27:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8f95bb250611091327j14cc96adwf66c0ed0ecf3b8ba@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Fix partial page check in e820_register_active_regions to ensure
partial pages are
not being marked as active in the memory pool.
Signed-off-by: Aaron Durbin <adurbin@google.com>

This was causing a machine to reboot w/ an area in the e820 that was less
than the page size because the upper address was being use to mark a hole as
active in the memory pool.
