[PATCH] x86_64: Fix off by one in bad_addr checking in find_e820_area
From: Robert Hentosh <robert_hentosh@dell.com> Actually, we just stumbled on a different bug found in find_e820_area() in e820.c. The following code does not handle the edge condition correctly: while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size < ei->addr + ei->size) ; last = addr + size; if ( last > ei->addr + ei->size ) continue; The second statement in the while loop needs to be a <= b so that it is the logical negavite of the if (a > b) outside it. It needs to read: while (bad_addr(&addr, size) && addr+size <= ei->addr + ei->size) ; In the case that failed bad_addr was returning an address that is exactly size bellow the end of the e820 range. AK: Again together with the earlier avoid edma fix this fixes boot on a Dell PE6850/16GB Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
