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

 



The patch titled
     ksm: three remove_rmap_item_from_tree cleanups
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ksm-three-remove_rmap_item_from_tree-cleanups.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: ksm: three remove_rmap_item_from_tree cleanups
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

1. remove_rmap_item_from_tree() is called as a precaution from
   various places: don't dirty the rmap_item cacheline unnecessarily,
   just mask the flags out of the address when they have been set.

2. First get_next_rmap_item() removes an unstable rmap_item from its tree,
   then shortly afterwards cmp_and_merge_page() removes a stable rmap_item
   from its tree: it's easier just to do both at once (but definitely keep
   the BUG_ON(age > 1) which guards against a future omission).

3. When cmp_and_merge_page() moves an rmap_item from unstable to stable
   tree, it does its own rb_erase() and accounting: that's better
   expressed by remove_rmap_item_from_tree().
