Subject: [PATCH 00/13] mm: mmu_gather rework -v2
Date: Wed, 02 Mar 2011 18:50:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110302175004.222724818@chello.nl> (raw)
Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure.
The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather,
but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the
status quo.
The first 10 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose
I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a
generic cleanup.
For the final commit I would provide a roll-up of these patches so as not
to wreck bisectability of non generic archs.
The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the follow up
is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from
DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement
gup_fast() for sparc64.
Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching.
