References: <47E439C3.6050904@austin.ibm.com> In-Reply-To: <47E439C3.6050904@austin.ibm.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Cc: mahuja@us.ibm.com, linasvepstas@gmail.com List-Id: Linux on PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , This patch tracks the size freed. For now it does a simple rudimentary calculation of the ranges freed. The idea is to keep it simple at the external shell script level and send in large chunks for now.
