Subject[PATCH for 2.6.22] [1/10] i386: bug in i386 MTRR initialization
Date

From: Andrea Righi <righiandr@users.sourceforge.net>
BUG: at include/linux/slub_def.h:77 kmalloc_index()

=======================

Reproduced running 2.6.22-rc2 (using SLUB) in a virtual machine with qemu 0.9.0
+ kqemu 1.3.0pre11. It occurs only using "-kernel-kqemu" option (full
virtualization mode).

In this case mtrr is supported by the real cpu, but no mtrr range is found,
resulting in a kmalloc(0, GFP_KERNEL) in get_mtrr_state() and init_table().

I don't know if it's an incorrect behaviour of qemu in the mtrr emulation, but I
think it should be handled properly.
