The patch titled
Subject: mm/sparse: clarify pgdat_to_phys
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-sparse-clarify-pgdat_to_phys.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Miles Chen <miles.chen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/sparse: clarify pgdat_to_phys
Clarify pgdat_to_phys() by testing if
pgdat == &contig_page_data when CONFIG_NUMA=n.
We only expect contig_page_data in such case, so we
use &contig_page_data directly instead of pgdat.
No functional change intended when CONFIG_BUG_VM=n.
Comment from Mark [1]:
"
... and I reckon it'd be clearer and more robust to define
pgdat_to_phys() in the same ifdefs as contig_page_data so
that these, stay in-sync. e.g. have:
| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x) virt_to_phys(x)
| #else /* CONFIG_NUMA */
|
| extern struct pglist_data contig_page_data;
| ...
| #define pgdat_to_phys(x) __pa_symbol(&contig_page_data)
|
| #endif /* CONIFIG_NUMA */
