From ac07a4a57f7408922a0b3d4dcb87104fe8a3d8ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian King Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:22:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] hvcs: Ensure page aligned partner info buffer The Power platform requires the partner info buffer to be page aligned otherwise it will fail the partner info hcall with H_PARAMETER. Switch from using kmalloc to allocate this buffer to __get_free_page to ensure page alignment.
