Subject: zone movable patches comments
Date: Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:50:41 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4691E8D1.4030507@yahoo.com.au> (raw)

Hi Mel,

Just had a bit of a look at the zone movable stuff in -mm... Firstly,
would it be possible to list all the dependant patches in that set, or
is it just those few that are contiguous in Andrew's series file?

A few comments -- can it be made configurable? I guess there is not
much overhead if the zone is not populated, but there has been a fair
bit of work towards taking out unneeded zones.

Also, I don't really like the name kernelcore= to specify mem-sizeof
movable zone. Could it be renamed and stated in the positive, like
movable_mem= or reserve_movable_mem=? And can that option be written
up in Documentation?

What is the status of these patches? Are they working and pretty well
ready to be merged for 2.6.23?

Thanks,
Nick
