Subject: [patch 3/3] arch_rebalance_pgtables call
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 15:30:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071112144010.052155135@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071112143009.425807965@de.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 003-mm-update-pgd.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1255 bytes --]

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

In order to change the layout of the page tables after an mmap has
crossed the adress space limit of the current page table layout a
architecture hook in get_unmapped_area is needed. The arguments
are the address of the new mapping and the length of it.
