From 9df1dab1df58ef20ef7df9b8f39d86cf5d2d1949 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 00:36:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [SPARC64]: Align address in huge_pte_alloc(). We are about to fill in all HPAGE_SIZE's worth of PAGE_SIZE ptes, so we have to give the first pte in that set else we scribble over random memory when we fill in the ptes. Signed-off-by: David S.
