Hi,

I didn't get patch 1 of this series, and it is not on linuxppc-dev
patchwork either. Can you resend ?

Thanks
Christophe

> - Moved test module and it's config from lib/ to mm/
> - Renamed config TEST_ARCH_PGTABLE as DEBUG_ARCH_PGTABLE_TEST
> - Renamed file from test_arch_pgtable.c to arch_pgtable_test.c
> - Added relevant MODULE_DESCRIPTION() and MODULE_AUTHOR() details
> - Dropped loadable module config option
> - Basic tests now use memory blocks with required size and alignment
> - PUD aligned memory block gets allocated with alloc_contig_range()
> - If PUD aligned memory could not be allocated it falls back on PMD aligned
> memory block from page allocator and pud_* tests are skipped
> - Clear and populate tests now operate on real in memory page table entries
> - Dummy mm_struct gets allocated with mm_alloc()
> - Dummy page table entries get allocated with [pud|pmd|pte]_alloc_[map]()
> - Simplified [p4d|pgd]_basic_tests(), now has random values in the entries
