From df1bd59c5cc247d1d02588ff0a4e86a0cc5f9733 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 10:34:04 +0200 Subject: s390/mem_detect: limit memory detection loop to "mem=" parameter The current memory detection loop will detect all present memory of a machine. This is true even if the user specified the "mem=" parameter on the kernel command line. This can be a problem since the memory detection may cause a fully populated host page table for the guest, even for those parts of the memory that the guest will never use afterwards. So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit if specified.
