Can you confirm that this was intentional and maybe explain the
motivation behind it? Because I see value in those patches.
Palmer,
I read that you were still taking patches for 5.18, so I confirm again
that the patches above are needed IMO.
It was too late for this when it was sent (I saw it then, but just got
around to actually doing the work to sort it out).
It took me a while to figure out exactly what was going on here, but I
think I remember now: that downgrade patch (and the follow-on I just
sent) is broken for medlow, because mm/init.c must be built medany
(which we're using for the mostly-PIC qualities). I remember being in
the middle of rebasing/debugging this a while ago, I must have forgotten
I was in the middle of that and accidentally merged the branch as-is.
Certainly wasn't trying to silently take half the patch set and leave
the rest in limbo, that's the wrong way to do things.
I'm not sure what the right answer is here, but I just sent a patch to
drop support for medlow. We'll have to talk about that, for now I
cleaned up some other minor issues, rearranged that docs and fix to come
first, and put this at palmer/riscv-sv48. I think that fix is
reasonable to take the doc and fix into fixes, then the dump improvement
on for-next. We'll have to see what folks think about the medany-only
kernels, the other option would be to build FDT as medany which seems a
bit awkward.
Maybe even the relocatable series?
Do you mind giving me a pointer? I'm not sure why I'm so drop-prone
with your patches, I promise I'm not doing it on purpose.
Thanks,
Alex
