Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 15/22] mm, m68k: add gfp flags variant of pmdand pte allocations

From: Prasad Joshi
Date: Fri Mar 18 2011 - 16:03:30 EST



Changes for motorola (motorola_pgalloc.h)
- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel to allocate zeroed page using given gfp_t flag

- Changed pte_alloc_one_kernel() to call __pte_alloc_one_kernel() passing
correct allocation flag.

- Added __pmd_alloc_one() to accepts gfp_t flag and pass it to
__get_pointer_table()

- Changed pmd_alloc_one() to call __pmd_alloc_one() passing GFP_KERNEL
allocation flag.

Changes for sun3 (sun3_pgalloc.h)
- Added function __pmd_alloc_one which is same as pmd_alloc_one, but accepts
an extra argument for gfp_t flag.

- Added function __pte_alloc_one_kernel to allocated page using
allocation flag passed as an argument.

- Changed pte_alloc_one_kernel to call __pte_alloc_one_kernel using
GFP_KERNEL allocation flag.

Generic Changes (mm/memory.c)
- Added __get_pointer_table() function which is same as get_pointer_table(),
but allows caller to pass the allocation flag.

- Changed get_pointer_table() to call __get_pointer_table() passing
GFP_KERNEL allocation flag.

- All these changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
