From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>
------------------- This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment. -------------------
commit bed9a31527af8ff3dfbad62a1a42815cef4baab7 upstream.
On a box with 8TB of RAM the MMU hashtable is 64GB in size. That means we have 4G PTEs. pSeries_lpar_hptab_clear was using a signed int to store the index which will overflow at 2G.
