      x86, NUMA: Fix empty memblk detection in numa_cleanup_meminfo() · 2be19102
      Yinghai Lu authored
      numa_cleanup_meminfo() trims each memblk between low (0) and
      high (max_pfn) limits and discards empty ones.  However, the
      emptiness detection incorrectly used equality test.  If the
      start of a memblk is higher than max_pfn, it is empty but fails
      the equality test and doesn't get discarded.
      
      The condition triggers when max_pfn is lower than start of a
      NUMA node and results in memory misconfiguration - leading to
      WARN_ON()s and other funnies.  The bug was discovered in devel
      branch where 32bit too uses this code path for NUMA init.  If a
      node is above the addressing limit, max_pfn ends up lower than
      the node triggering this problem.
      
      The failure hasn't been observed on x86-64 but is still possible
      with broken hardware e820/NUMA info.  As the fix is very low
      risk, it would be better to apply it even for 64bit.
      
      Fix it by using >= instead of ==.
