Hallyn" List-Id: Linux on PowerPC Developers Mail List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , The first patch in this series is a genuine bug fix. The rest are really just an RFC. Jon introduced a bug a while ago. I introduced another when trying to fix Jon's bug. I refuse to accept personal blame for this and, instead, blame the code. :) The reset of the series are "cleanups" that I think will help clarify the code in numa.c and work to ensure that the next bonehead like me is not as able to easily muck up the code. :) The cleanups increase in impact and intrusiveness as the series goes along, so please consider them an RFC. But, what I really want to figure out is a safer way to initialize NODE_DATA() and start using it as we bring up bootmem on all the nodes.
