Hi Yinghai, Seems this patchset contains much content at one time so that it's not very convenient to understand and review. Could it be made by 2 or 3 steps? like Firstly post a patchset to handle kaslr putting kernel above 4G. This involves many lines of code change but its concept is simple. And code change can be understood and reviewed very easily. Secondly a patchset to clean up the VO/ZO/runsize issue. This involves less codes but very complicated and a good description is necessary. At last, based on the 2nd change handle the mem_avoid issue and furthur clean up issues, then based on them kaslr can random to below the loaded address. Otherwise this patchset got too much fix. Reviewers need spend much time to understand and review. And also not easy to explain each of them and connections between them. What do you think?
