mm/ia64: fix a memory block size bug
I found following definition in include/linux/memory.h, in my IA64
platform, SECTION_SIZE_BITS is equal to 32, and MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE
will be 0.
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1 << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
Because MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE is int type and length of 32bits,
so MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE(1 << 32) will will equal to 0.
Actually when SECTION_SIZE_BITS >= 31, MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE will be wrong.
This will cause wrong system memory infomation in sysfs.
I think it should be:
#define MIN_MEMORY_BLOCK_SIZE (1UL << SECTION_SIZE_BITS)
And "echo offline > memory0/state" will cause following call trace:
