[RFC PATCH 07/11] mm: Add support for acquiring first free "raw" or "untreated" page in zone

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

In order to be able to "treat" memory in an asynchonous fashion we need a
way to acquire a block of memory that isn't already treated, and then flush
that back in a way that we will not pick it back up again.

To achieve that this patch adds a pair of functions. One to fill a list
with pages to be treated, and another that will flush out the list back to
the buddy allocator.
