Subject: [PATCH] Simplify pte_offset_{map,map_nested}() on 32 bits [try #2]
Date: Fri, 04 May 2007 12:57:03 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <463B117F.1070009@innova-card.com> (raw)

From: Franck Bui-Huu <fbuihuu@gmail.com>

Since both kernel and process page tables are never allocated in
highmem these 2 macros were doing unnecessary extra works for getting
a pte from a pmd.

This patch also clean up pte allocation functions by passing
__GFP_ZERO to alloc_pages() and by removing a useless local variable.

With this patch the size of the kernel is slighly reduced.

 Hi Ralf,

 Maybe I'm missing something but it seems that page tables are
 never allocated from highmem. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
 This patch boot fine on a 32-bits platform without highmem
 though.

 This patch does not include any modifications for 64-bits
 platforms since I can't test them but this assertion
 should be more true since there's no highmem on these
 platforms. I can make another patch for such platforms if
 you think it makes sense.

 Please consider,

		Franck
