x86: Fix ioremap off by one BUG
Jean Delvare's machine triggered this BUG acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/pat.c:233! with ACPI in the backtrace. Adding some debugging output showed that ACPI calls acpi_os_map_memory phys ffff0000 size 65535 And ioremap/PAT does this check in 32bit, so addr+size wraps and the BUG in reserve_memtype() triggers incorrectly. BUG_ON(start >= end); /* end is exclusive */ But reserve_memtype already uses u64: int reserve_memtype(u64 start, u64 end, so the 32bit truncation must happen in the caller. Presumably in ioremap when it passes this information to reserve_memtype(). This patch does this computation in 64bit. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11346 Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
