Ummm... If things would be that simple... I think we need struct page (*alloc_page)(struct address_space *mapping, int order, int node, gfp_t flags) node = -1 means abitrary node otherwise try to alloc on indicated node. additional_flags are important to be able to specify GFP_THISNODE to force alloc on one particular node. Plus there are the cpuset context flages etc. If the allocation is atomic then the callback should be able to react to that appropriately. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
