From 5da0ef9a8554a8d03dc880a53f213289fe7b576d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 10:34:32 +0200 Subject: x86: Disable AMD_NUMA for 32bit for now Commit 2706a0bf7b ("x86, NUMA: Enable CONFIG_AMD_NUMA on 32bit too") enabled AMD NUMA for 32bit too. Unfortunately, SPARSEMEM on 32bit had rather coarse (512MiB) addr->node mapping granularity due to lack of space in page->flags. This led to boot failure on certain AMD NUMA machines which had 128MiB alignment on nodes. Patches to properly detect this condition and reject NUMA configuration are posted[1] but deemed too pervasive for merge at this point (-rc6). Disable AMD NUMA for 32bit for now and re-enable once the detection logic is merged.
