Subject: [PATCH 0/11] alternate 4-level page tables patches (take 2)
Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 20:50:25 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41C94361.6070909@yahoo.com.au> (raw)
OK, it turned out that the fallback header I sent out earlier seemed
to do the right thing on both ia64 and x86_64 (3-level) without really
any changes. So combined with i386 !PAE, that covers 2-level and 3-level
implementations... so with any luck it will work on all arches.
So in the following series, there is:
a minor shuffling of hunks between patches
slight improvement to the clear_page_range patch
one off-by-one bug in clear_pud_range
dropped the inlining patch
inclusion of the fallback header.
Theoretically, all architectures should continue to work as before.
Comments? Any consensus as to which way we want to go? I don't want to
inflame tempers by continuing this line of work, just provoke discussion.
Thanks,
Nick
