From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Nov 04 2008 - 18:48:57 EST


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

------------------
From: Jon Tollefson <kniht@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 4792adbac9eb41cea77a45ab76258ea10d411173 upstream

If mem= is used on the boot command line to limit memory then the memory block where a 16G page resides may not be available.

Thanks to Michael Ellerman for finding the problem.
