From 5d3d0f7704ed0bc7eaca0501eeae3e5da1ea6c87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Mon, 12 Sep 2005 18:49:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86-64: Reverse order of bootmem lists This leads to bootmem allocating first from node 0 instead of from the last node. This avoids swiotlb allocating on the last node, which doesn't really work on a machine with >4GB. Note: there is a better patch around from someone else that gets rid of the pgdat list completely.
