From e621bd18958ef5dbace3129ebe17a0a475e127d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Young Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:43:03 -0700 Subject: i386: vmalloc size fix Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size<=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory). BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered: BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START); It's due to the vm area hole. In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h: #define VMALLOC_OFFSET (8 * 1024 * 1024) #define VMALLOC_START (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \ & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1)) There's several related point: 1. MAXMEM : (-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE). The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to (VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE) 2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it. 3. VMALLOC_START : (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1)) So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible. I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET) 4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.
