Subject: [patch 1/2] x86_64: pageattr use single list
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 16:03:40 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060117150316.7411.98772.sendpatchset@linux.site> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060117150307.7411.94174.sendpatchset@linux.site>

Use page->lru.next to implement the singly linked list of pages rather
than the struct deferred_page which needs to be allocated and freed for
each page.
