[patch 04/45] BLOCK: Fix bounce limit address check

From: Greg KH
Date: Mon Jul 17 2006 - 12:41:34 EST


-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

This fixes some OOMs on 64bit systems with <4GB of RAM when accessing
the cdrom.

Do a safer check for when to enable DMA. Currently we enable ISA DMA
for cases that do not need it, resulting in OOM conditions when ZONE_DMA
runs out of space.
