Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards. This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1 is used. This is a fix for 2.6.24. Credit goes to Stephen Rothwell for identifying the bug and testing candidate patches. Additional credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for spotting a problem with respects to IA-64 before releasing. Additional credit to David Gibson for testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite.
