Subject: Re: 2.6.28-rc9 panics with crashkernel=256M while booting
Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:00:03 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901191700.03580.chandru@in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1232128377.27278.69.camel@nimitz>
In case either physbase or reserve_size are not page aligned and in addition
if the following condition is also true
node_ar.end_pfn = node->node_end_pfn = PFN_DOWN(physbase+reserve_size).
we may hit the BUG_ON(end > bdata->node_low_pfn) in mark_bootmem_node() in
mm/bootmem.c Hence pass the pfn that the physbase is part of and align
reserve_size before calling reserve_bootmem_node().
