[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v2 05/11] lib/alloc_page: fix and improve the page allocator

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

 



This patch introduces some improvements to the code, mostly readability
improvements, but also some semantic details, and improvements in the
documentation.

* introduce and use pfn_t to semantically tag parameters as PFNs
* remove the PFN macro, use virt_to_pfn instead
* rename area_or_metadata_contains and area_contains to area_contains_pfn
  and usable_area_contains_pfn respectively
* fix/improve comments in lib/alloc_page.h
* move some wrapper functions to the header

Fixes: 8131e91a4b61 ("lib/alloc_page: complete rewrite of the page allocator")
Fixes: 34c950651861 ("lib/alloc_page: allow reserving arbitrary memory ranges")
