[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: allow 256kB pages with SHMEM

[PATCH 3/3] powerpc: allow 256kB pages with SHMEM

[Hugh Dickins]

Now that shmem's divisions by zero and SHMEM_MAX_BYTES are fixed,
let powerpc 256kB pages coexist with CONFIG_SHMEM again.

Added linuxppc-dev and some other Cc's for this 3/3: sorry
if you didn't see 1/3 and 2/3, they were just in mm/shmem.c.

Looks OK - what path are you using to get the series upstream?
(I.e. should I be putting 3/3 in the powerpc tree or are you going to
push it along with the others?)

If it's OK with you (and you're saying it is), I think the best
would be for it to sit alongside 1/3 and 2/3 in Andrew's tree,
hopefully get an Ack from Yuri (I don't have any powerpc 256kB
pages myself to test it fully), and then go on into 2.6.30.

Do we think these patches should be in 2.6.30?

I think so - 2.6.30 will have the rest of Yuri's 256kB page support.
But it would be nice to have an Ack from Yuri before sending these
on through.  2/3 is a bugfix justified even without 256kB pages -
I should have inverted the ordering.
