well. I believe the patches are now ready for inclusion in -mm, and after
wider testing inclusion in the mainline kernel.
The patch set consists of 9 patches that can be merged in 4 separate
blocks,
with the only dependency being that the lower numbered patches are merged
first. All are against 2.6.13.
Patch 1 defines the allocation flags and adds them to the allocator calls.
Patch 2 defines some new structures and the macros used to access them.
Patch 3-8 implement the fully functional fragmentation avoidance.
Patch 9 is trivial but useful for memory hotplug remove.
---
Patch 10 -- not ready for merging -- extends fragmentation avoidance to the
percpu allocator. This patch works on 2.6.13-rc1 but only with NUMA off on
2.6.13; I am having a great deal of trouble tracking down why, help
would be
appreciated. I include the patch for review and test purposes as I plan to
submit it for merging after resolving the NUMA issues.
It was pointed out that I did not make it clear that I would like the 9 patches
in this series merged into -mm. They are ready to go.
Patch 10 is just a bonus patch you can ignore.
