    [PATCH] powerpc: Fix sparsemem with memory holes [was Re: ppc64 oops..] · fb6d73d3
    Paul Mackerras authored
    This patch should fix the crashes we have been seeing on 64-bit
    powerpc systems with a memory hole when sparsemem is enabled.
    I'd appreciate it if people who know more about NUMA and sparsemem
    than me could look over it.
    
    There were two bugs.  The first was that if NUMA was enabled but there
    was no NUMA information for the machine, the setup_nonnuma() function
    was adding a single region, assuming memory was contiguous.  The
    second was that the loops in mem_init() and show_mem() assumed that
    all pages within the span of a pgdat were valid (had a valid struct
    page).
    
    I also fixed the incorrect setting of num_physpages that Mike Kravetz
    pointed out.
