From f014a556e714dfb02502e3be6146a39ca625f33c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 14:59:37 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fixup bogus e820 entry with mem= This was reported because someone was getting oopses reading /proc/iomem. It was tracked down to a zero-sized 'struct resource' entry which was located right at 4GB. You need two conditions to hit this bug: a BIOS E820_RAM area starting at exactly the boundary where you specify mem= (to get a zero-sized entry), and for the legacy_init_iomem_resources() loop to skip that resource (which only happens at exactly 4G). I think the killing zero-sized e820 entry is the easiest way to fix this.
