- page-allocator-clean-up-pcp-draining-functions.patch removed from -mm tree

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

 



The patch titled
     Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     page-allocator-clean-up-pcp-draining-functions.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Page allocator: clean up pcp draining functions
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>

- Add comments explaing how drain_pages() works.

- Eliminate useless functions

- Rename drain_all_local_pages to drain_all_pages(). It does drain
  all pages not only those of the local processor.

- Eliminate useless interrupt off / on sequences. drain_pages()
  disables interrupts on its own. The execution thread is
  pinned to processor by the caller. So there is no need to
  disable interrupts.

- Put drain_all_pages() declaration in gfp.h and remove the
  declarations from suspend.h and from mm/memory_hotplug.c

- Make software suspend call drain_all_pages(). The draining
  of processor local pages is may not the right approach if
  software suspend wants to support SMP. If they call drain_all_pages
  then we can make drain_pages() static.
