The idea is to have a unique name space for new subsystem of page tables that are used between kernels: between stage 1 and stage 2 kexec kernel, and similarly between kernels during hibernate boot process. I picked: "trans_table" that stands for transitional page table: meaning they are used only during transition between worlds. All public functions in this subsystem will have trans_table_* prefix, and page directory will be named: "trans_table". If this is confusing, I can either use a different prefix, or describe what "trans_table" stand for in trans_table.h/.c Thank you, Pasha _______________________________________________ kexec mailing list kexec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/kexec
