Yes grumble. Why does it take so long... Would it be possible to merge this for 2.6.23 (maybe late?). This has been around for 6 months now. It removes the troubling lookups in virt_to_page and page_address in sparsemem that have spooked many of us. virt_to_page efficiency is a performance issue for kfree and kmem_cache_free in the slab allocators. I inserted probles and saw that the patchset cuts down the cycles spend in virt_to_page by 50%. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
