When you are bisecting, chances are that you'll step into the time period after this was broken, but before this patch was applied ... so you'll have to look at sched.c and apply this patch manually when bisect picks a commit in this zone. But I don't see anyway around that (history is immutable). -Tony See this commit: commit 5a9d3225a0d7060bdf3a18018992dc8cef958425 Author: David Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Apr 24 20:46:20 2008 -0700 sched: use alloc_bootmem() instead of alloc_bootmem_low() There is no guarantee that there is physical ram below 4GB, and in fact many boxes don't have exactly that.
