3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f7f8aea4b97c4d48e42f02cb37026bee445f239f upstream. memsize denotes the amount of RAM we can access from kseg{0,1} and that should be up to 256M. In case the bootloader reports a value higher than that (perhaps reporting all the available RAM) it's best if we fix it ourselves and just warn the user about that. This is usually a problem with the bootloader and/or its environment. [ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: Remove useless parens as suggested bei Sergei. Reformat long pr_warn statement to fit into 80 column limit.] Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-mips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/9362/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c b/arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c index fdffc806664f..9b3a07d962ce 100644 --- a/arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c +++ b/arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-memory.c @@ -52,6 +52,12 @@ fw_memblock_t * __init fw_getmdesc(int eva) pr_warn("memsize not set in YAMON, set to default (32Mb)\n"); physical_memsize = 0x02000000; } else { + if (memsize > (256 << 20)) { /* memsize should be capped to 256M */ + pr_warn("Unsupported memsize value (0x%lx) detected!
