(1/4) discontigmem support for i386 against 2.5.30
This patch was written by Martin Bligh. It changes all references of node_start_paddr and zone_start_paddr to node_start_pfn and zone_start_pfn. This change is required to support PAE for i386 discontigmem. A version of this patch is in the 2.4 aa tree. Here's Martin's previous discussion regarding these changes: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=101925939829917&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=101925421326030&w=2 I've tested this patch on the following configurations: UP, SMP, SMP PAE, multiquad, multiquad PAE, multiquad DISCONTIGMEM, multiquad DISCONTIGMEM PAE. Any and all feedback regarding this patch is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pat -- Patricia Gaughen (gone@us.ibm.com) IBM Linux Technology Center http://www.ibm.com/linux/ltc/ |
