Hello, Upon ack, please pull from the following git tree. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git tj-percpu-make-allocators-generic This patchset generalizes 4k and lpage first chunk allocators and makes x86 call these generic helpers. This will help converting other architectures to dynamic percpu and be the basis for further first chunk allocator improvements by standardizing how the first chunk is allocated. This patchset contains the following six patches. 0001-x86-make-pcpu_chunk_addr_search-matching-stricter.patch 0002-percpu-drop-unit_size-from-embed-first-chunk-alloc.patch 0003-x86-percpu-generalize-4k-first-chunk-allocator.patch 0004-percpu-make-4k-first-chunk-allocator-map-memory.patch 0005-x86-percpu-generalize-lpage-first-chunk-allocator.patch 0006-percpu-simplify-pcpu_setup_first_chunk.patch 0001 and 0002 are cleanups which don't make any functional difference. 0003-0004 generalizes 4k allocator and makes its behavior more uniform with other allocators. 0005 generalizes lpage allocator. As 0004 makes generic alloc/map handling in pcpu_setup_first_chunk() unnecessary, 0006 drops it. This simplification will allow dropping pcpu_chunk->page[] by later patchset.
