Subject: [PATCH 0/3] CMPXCHG config options changes
Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 15:04:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320933860-15588-1-git-send-email-heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> (raw)
While implementing cmpxchg_double() on s390 I realized that we don't
set CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL besides the fact that we have support for it.
However setting that option will increase the size of struct page by
eight bytes on 64 bit, which we certainly do not want.
Also, it doesn't make sense that a present cpu feature should increase
the size of struct page.
Besides that it looks like the dependency to CMPXCHG_LOCAL is wrong
and that it should depend on CMPXCHG_DOUBLE instead.

mm,slub,x86: decouple size of struct page from CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL
