repair bootmem memory leak
PATCH 1/1 repair bootmem memory leak
While developing my fresh bootmem, the testing I did to ensure there were no memory leaks discovered a caller leaking memory:
arch/i386/kernel/setup.c +1 -1
@@ -926,7 +926,7 @@* bootmem allocator with an invalid RAM area. */ reserve_bootmem (HIGH_MEMORY , (PFN_PHYS (start_pfn) + - bootmap_size +PAGE_SIZE -1 ) - (HIGH_MEMORY )); + bootmap_size) - (HIGH_MEMORY ));/* * reserve physical page 0 - it's a special BIOS page on many boxes,
reserve_boootmem_core() already ensures that the endpoint of the interval to reserve is rounded up to a page boundary, and so this (demonstrably) leaks a page whenever
PFN_PHYS(start_pfn) + bootmap_size + PAGE_SIZE -1
is not page-aligned.
Cheers,
Bill
