[PATCH] genalloc: fix allocation from end of pool

From: imre . deak
Date: Sat Jun 05 2010 - 08:12:20 EST


From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@xxxxxxxxx>

bitmap_find_next_zero_area requires the size of the bitmap, we instead
passed the last suitable position. This made it impossible to allocate
from the end of the pool.
