• ec3f64fc9   mm: remove gfp mask from pcpu_get_vm_areas ... Browse Code »

  pcpu_get_vm_areas() only uses GFP_KERNEL allocations, so remove the gfp_t
  formal and use the mask internally.

• 9f6455325   percpu: move vmalloc based chunk management into percpu-vm.c ... Browse Code »

  Separate out and move chunk management (creation/desctruction and
  [de]population) code into percpu-vm.c which is included by percpu.c
  and compiled together. The interface for chunk management is defined
  as follows.

  * pcpu_populate_chunk - populate the specified range of a chunk
  * pcpu_depopulate_chunk - depopulate the specified range of a chunk
  * pcpu_create_chunk - create a new chunk
  * pcpu_destroy_chunk - destroy a chunk, always preceded by full depop
  * pcpu_addr_to_page - translate address to physical address
  * pcpu_verify_alloc_info - check alloc_info is acceptable during init

  Other than wrapping vmalloc_to_page() inside pcpu_addr_to_page() and
  dummy pcpu_verify_alloc_info() implementation, this patch only moves
  code around. This separation is to allow alternate chunk management
  implementation.
