Subject: [PATCH] i386: remove dead code in pgtable_cache_init
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:38:30 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <470D3846.1000209@goop.org> (raw)
The conversion from using a slab cache to quicklist left some residual dead code.
I note that in the conversion it now always allocates a whole page for
the pgd, rather than the 32 bytes needed for a PAE pgd. Was this
intended?
