[PATCH] mm: negative left shift count when PAGE_SHIFT > 20

From: Jerry Zhou
Date: Sat Jul 20 2013 - 13:13:38 EST


When PAGE_SHIFT > 20, the result of "20 - PAGE_SHIFT" is negative. The
previous calculating here will generate an unexpected result. In
addition, if PAGE_SIZE >= 1MB, The memory size of "numentries" was
already integral multiple of 1MB.
