From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <41C94361.6070909@yahoo.com.au> Date: Wed, 22 Dec 2004 20:50:25 +1100 From: Nick Piggin MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [PATCH 0/11] alternate 4-level page tables patches (take 2) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: Linus Torvalds , Andrew Morton , Andi Kleen , Hugh Dickins , Linux Memory Management List-ID: OK, it turned out that the fallback header I sent out earlier seemed to do the right thing on both ia64 and x86_64 (3-level) without really any changes. So combined with i386 !PAE, that covers 2-level and 3-level implementations... so with any luck it will work on all arches. So in the following series, there is: a minor shuffling of hunks between patches slight improvement to the clear_page_range patch one off-by-one bug in clear_pud_range dropped the inlining patch inclusion of the fallback header. Theoretically, all architectures should continue to work as before. Comments? Any consensus as to which way we want to go? I don't want to inflame tempers by continuing this line of work, just provoke discussion.
