Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 11/22] mm, parisc: add gfp flags variant of pmdand pte allocations

From: Prasad Joshi
Date: Fri Mar 18 2011 - 15:58:56 EST



- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() function to allocate zeroed page using
passed allocation flag. The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() is changed to
call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation
flags.

2-level page table support
- Added macro __pmd_alloc_one which is same as pmd_alloc_one, but has an extra
argument to pass gfp_t

3-level page table support
- Added function __pmd_alloc_one() to allocate pages using allocation flag.
The allocation flag is argument to the function.

- The function pmd_alloc_one() is changed to call __pmd_alloc_one(), passing
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_REPEAT allocation flags.

- All these changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
