[PATCH] powerpc/mm: fix a hardcode on memory boundary checking

From: Rui Teng <hidden>
Date: 2017-01-12 09:09:55

The offset of hugepage block will not be 16G, if the expected
page is more than one. Calculate the totol size instead of the
hardcode value.

I assume you found this by code inspection and not by triggering an
actual bug?

Yes, I found this problem only by code inspection. We were finding the
ways to enable 16G huge page besides changing the device tree. For example, provide a new interface to set these size and pages parameters.
So that I think it may cause problem here.

I have a redundant patch, this one is the original.

Applied to powerpc next, thanks.
