Revision f9228b204f789493117e458d2fefae937edb7272 authored by Russ Anderson on 22 March 2013, 22:04:43 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 22 March 2013, 23:41:20 UTC 
mm: zone_end_pfn is too small
 
Booting with 32 TBytes memory hits BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:552! (output
below).

The key hint is "page 4294967296 outside zone".
4294967296 = 0x100000000 (bit 32 is set).

The problem is in include/linux/mmzone.h:

  530 static inline unsigned zone_end_pfn(const struct zone *zone)
  531 {
  532         return zone->zone_start_pfn + zone->spanned_pages;
  533 }

zone_end_pfn is "unsigned" (32 bits).  Changing it to "unsigned long"
(64 bits) fixes the problem.

zone_end_pfn() was added recently in commit 108bcc96ef70 ("mm: add & use
zone_end_pfn() and zone_spans_pfn()")

Output from the failure.

  No AGP bridge found
