    powerpc/64s/hash: Fix 128TB-512TB virtual address boundary case allocation

is required to fix a mm regression introduced in 4.12.  It has already been submitted for 4.14-stable, but I have not seen it elsewhere.

This bug causes a significant amount of glibc builds to fail on all branches, due to the way the build process uses the new glibc.

I would appreciate if this bug could be fixed on the Fedora builders even if the fix is not backported to the relevant stable kernels.

Comment 1 Jeremy Cline 2017-11-29 21:21:24 UTC
I included this in kernel-4.13.16-301.fc27 and kernel-4.13.16-301.fc26 which, if things go well, *should* make it to stable before Monday when the builders are scheduled to be updated.
