This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled Revert "x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables" to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.yuz extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.yuz tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From be07a4610cb5bf4619cbf99724924285da53b8ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com> Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2012 14:33:23 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables" commit 7b16bbf97375d9fb7fc107b3f80afeb94a204e44 upstream. Commit: 722bc6b16771 x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables Tried to address the issue that the first 2/4M should use 4k pages if PSE enabled, but extra counts should only be valid for x86_32. This commit caused a kdump regression: the kdump kernel hangs. Work is in progress to fundamentally fix the various page table initialization issues that we have, via the design suggested by H. Peter Anvin, but it's not ready yet to be merged. So, to get a working kdump revert to the last known working version, which is the revert of this commit and of a followup fix (which was incomplete): bd2753b2dda7 x86/mm: Only add extra pages count for the first memory range during pre-allocation Tested kdump on physical and virtual machines.
