[RFC/RFT PATCH 0/3] m68k/mm: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM

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

 



Hi,

This is the first attempt to replace DISCONTIGMEM with SPARSEMEM on m68k
for systems with !SINGLE_MEMORY_CHUNK set.

With SPARSEMEM there is a single node for the entire physical memory and to
cope with holes in the physical address space it is divided to sections of
up to 16M.

Each section has it's own memory map which size depends on actual populated
memory.

The section size of 16M was chosen pretty much arbitrarily as I couldn't
find specs for systems with e.g. Zorro memory extensions. 

Mike Rapoport (3):
  m68k/mm: make node data and node setup depend on CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM
  m68k/mm: enable use of generic memory_model.h for !DISCONTIGMEM
  m68k/mm: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM
