[PATCH 3/3] arm: mm: Add alignment check for memory banks in FLATMEM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Michael Bohan <mbohan@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In FLATMEM configurations, the VM code assumes that memory bank
end addresses in a hole are MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES aligned if
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is not enabled. The crash scenarios are hard
to debug, so let's not proceed if we aren't configured right.
