So while I appreciate you actively looking at this and iteratively sending snapshots of the progress - I think it would be easier if you posted a patchset that has rework done completly per what Peter described. That way folks who are reviewing will know when they can focus their time on reviewing the whole thing in one go instead of doing it step by step - as some of the patches still haven't addressed the review comments that were given the first time. > 1. use brk to mapping first PMD_SIZE range. > 2. top down to initialize page table range by range. > 3. get rid of calculate page table, and find_early_page_table. > 4. remove early_ioremap in page table accessing. > > v2: changes, update xen interface about pagetable_reserve, so not > use pgt_buf_* in xen code directly. > v3: use range top-down to initialize page table, so will not use > calculating/find early table anymore. > also reorder the patches sequence. > > could be found at: > > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git > for-x86-mm > > later we could get rid of workaround about xen_mapping_pagetable_reserve, that > could kill another 50 lines codes. --- will do that later because x86/mm2 is > not updated to linus/master yet. If we do that now, will have merge conflicts. I am confused. Why do you need x86/mm2? If you do need it, you need to describe in this writeup why you depend on it, and what is there. You can't base it on linus's tree? > > Thanks > > Yinghai Lu > > Yinghai Lu (7): > x86, mm: align start address to correct big page size > x86, mm: Use big page size for small memory range > x86, mm: Don't clear page table if next range is ram > x86, mm: only keep initial mapping for ram > x86, mm: Break down init_all_memory_mapping > x86, mm: setup page table from top-down > x86, mm: Remove early_memremap workaround for page table accessing > > arch/x86/include/asm/page_types.h | 1 + > arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h | 1 + > arch/x86/kernel/setup.c | 3 + > arch/x86/mm/init.c | 251 ++++++++++++------------------------ > arch/x86/mm/init_32.c | 18 +++- > arch/x86/mm/init_64.c | 100 ++++++--------- > 6 files changed, 144 insertions(+), 230 deletions(-) > > -- > 1.7.7 > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
