Subject: [linux-next PATCH] Free percpu allocation info for uniprocessor system
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 21:36:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407850575-18794-1-git-send-email-enjoymindful@gmail.com> (raw)
Uniprocessor system should free percpu allocation info after use as SMP system.
Following table is the bootmem allocation information of one x86 UML virtual
machine with 256MB memory. The virtual machine is running linux-3.12.6.
Page (0x8c07000) is wasted.

Recent UML is broken because of the commit:
"resource: provide new functions to walk through resources"
As a result, the patch had been tested on x86 and x86_64 UML virtual
machines based on linux-next-v3.16.
