[PATCH 40/91] powerpc: pseries: Fix kexec on machines with more than 4TB of RAM

From: Willy Tarreau
Date: Sun Feb 05 2012 - 17:36:30 EST


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

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

commit bed9a31527af8ff3dfbad62a1a42815cef4baab7 upstream.

On a box with 8TB of RAM the MMU hashtable is 64GB in size. That
means we have 4G PTEs. pSeries_lpar_hptab_clear was using a signed
int to store the index which will overflow at 2G.
