[PATCH 2/2] xtensa: use buddy allocator for PTE table

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

 



At the moment xtensa uses slab allocator for PTE table. It doesn't work
with enabled split page table lock: slab uses page->slab_cache and
page->first_page for its pages. These fields share stroage with
page->ptl.
