Subject: [PATCH 8/8] pseries: phyp dump: Tracking memory range freed.
Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 18:39:52 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4782C658.4050901@austin.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4782B985.2090508@austin.ibm.com>
This patch tracks the size freed. For now it does a simple
rudimentary calculation of the ranges freed. The idea is
to keep it simple at the external shell script level and
send in large chunks for now.
