The patch titled memblock/nobootmem: allow alloc_bootmem() to take 0 as low limit has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memblock-nobootmem-allow-alloc_bootmem-to-take-0-as-low-limit.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: memblock/nobootmem: allow alloc_bootmem() to take 0 as low limit From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@xxxxxxxxxx> The bootmem wrapper with memblock supports top-down now, so we do not need to set the low limit to __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS). The logic should be: good to allocate above __pa(MAX_DMA_ADDRESS), but it is ok if we can not find memory above 16M on system that has a small amount of RAM.
