This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions and memory holes above 4 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 b8a4d69007da6265a223f4234bc8d332b33b37f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:15:26 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Exclude E820_RESERVED regions and memory holes above 4 GB from direct mapping. commit 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a upstream. On systems with very large memory (1 TB in our case), BIOS may report a reserved region or a hole in the E820 map, even above the 4 GB range. Exclude these from the direct mapping. [ hpa: this should be done not just for > 4 GB but for everything above the legacy region (1 MB), at the very least. That, however, turns out to require significant restructuring. That work is well underway, but is not suitable for rc/stable. ] Signed-off-by: Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1319145326-13902-1-git-send-email-jacob.shin@amd.com Signed-off-by: H.
