  • 72a7fe396   Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() ... Browse Code »

    This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
    BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
    between crashkernel area and already used memory.

    This patch:

    Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
    If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
    has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.

    Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
    inside reserve_bootmem_core().

  • f9c98d028   [PATCH] mm: m68k kill stram swap ... Browse Code »

    Please, please now delete the Atari CONFIG_STRAM_SWAP code. It may be
    excellent and ingenious code, but its reference to swap_vfsmnt betrays that it
    hasn't been built since 2.5.1 (four years old come December), it's delving
    deep into matters which are the preserve of core mm code, its only purpose is
    to give the more conscientious mm guys an anxiety attack from time to time;
    yet we keep on breaking it more and more.

    If you want to use RAM for swap, then if the MTD driver does not already
    provide just what you need, I'm sure David could be persuaded to add the
    extra. But you'd also like to be able to allocate extents of that swap for
    other use: we can give you a core interface for that if you need. But unbuilt
    for four years suggests to me that there's no need at all.

    I cannot swear the patch below won't break your build, but believe so.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
