From 5d7244e7c984cecead412bde6395ce18618a4a37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 16:10:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: Fix memset() to support sizes of 4Gb and above While currently there doesn't appear to be any reachable in-tree case where such large memory blocks may be passed to memset() (alloc_bootmem() being the primary non-reachable one, as it gets called with suitably large sizes in FLATMEM configurations), we have recently hit the problem a second time in our Xen kernels. Rather than working around it a second time, prevent others from falling into the same trap by fixing this long standing limitation.
