-From: Tejun Heo <tj <at> kernel.org>
-Subject: [PATCH 3.4-rc3] memblock: memblock should be able to handle zero length operations
-Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel, gmane.linux.kernel.stable
-Date: 2012-04-20 15:31:34 GMT (2 days, 14 hours and 59 minutes ago)
-24aa07882b "memblock, x86: Replace memblock_x86_reserve/free_range()
-with generic ones" replaced x86 specific memblock operations with the
-generic ones; unfortunately, it lost zero length operation handling in
-the process making the kernel panic if somebody tries to reserve zero
-length area.
-
-There isn't much to be gained by being cranky to zero length
-operations and panicking is almost the worst response. Drop the
-BUG_ON() in memblock_reserve() and update
-memblock_add_region/isolate_range() so that all zero length operations
-are handled as noops.

----
-This is causing early panics if anyone tries to reserve zero len area,
-which unfortunately isn't too uncommon depending on BIOS. The fix is
-fairly safe. Unsure which tree it should go through. Cc'ing Linus
-and Ingo.

-Thanks.
