For low slice, max addr should be less than 4G. Without limiting this correctly we will end up with a low slice mask which has 17th bit set. This is not a problem with the current code because our low slice mask is of type u16. But in later patch I am switching low slice mask to u64 type and having the 17bit set result in wrong slice mask which in turn results in mmap failures.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
