>From a core VM perspective, I'm fine with these hooks. It's minimally
invasive. It is missing some explanation in the *code* of why sparc is
doing this and when/why other architectures might want to use these
hooks. I think that would be awfully nice.
I still think the _current_ SPARC implementation of these hooks is
pretty broken because it doesn't allow more than one ADI tag within a
given page. But, fixing that is confined to sparc code and shouldn't
affect the core VM or these hooks.
I suspect these hooks are still quite incomplete. For instance, I do
not think KSM goes through these paths. Couldn't a process *lose* its
ADI tags when KSM merges an underlying physical page?
I think you need to resolve your outstanding issues (from your 0/4
patch) before anyone can really ack these. I suspect solving your
issues will change the number and placement of these hooks.
There is no mention in these patches of the effectively reduced virtual
address space. Why?
