I see no reason to go back to a 4k aligned alloc, do you? It still introduces a fair amount of fragmentation - but you can argue that we should be allocating enough single pages for it not to matter. At some point, I am going to notice the hole and wonder what insanity lies within. ;-) However, just dropping the patch isn't quite enough, we need the 'prefer top-down allocations for !mappable' as well to move it out of the aperture. But that is a patch for another time. -Chris -- Chris Wilson, Intel Open Source Technology Centre
