Subject[34-longterm 155/179] powerpc: pseries: Fix kexec on machines with more than 4TB of RAM
Date
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.
