(*)This patches add information to Reserved pages using page->private field. I think pages markd with PG_uncached are not managed by alloc_pages()/free_pages(). So, instead of using PG_uncached, using (*) and reserved as "reserved_uncached" can work enough, I think. "Allocating and isolating" method cannot work with memory-hotplug stuff. Can this patch work with your mspec ? [1/3] function for naming pages using page->private [2/3] name reserved_at_boot pages [3/3] name reserved_uncached pages Thanks. -- Kame
