[PATCHv24 00/16] Contiguous Memory Allocator

From: Marek Szyprowski
Date: Tue Apr 03 2012 - 10:10:29 EST


Hi,

This is (yet another) update of CMA patches. I've rebased them onto
recent v3.4-rc1 kernel tree and integrated some minor bugfixes. The
first issue has been pointed by Sandeep Patil - alloc_contig_range
reclaimed two times too many pages, second issue (possible mismatch
between pageblock size and MAX_ORDER pages) has been recently spotted
by Michal Nazarewicz.

These patches are also available on my git repository:
git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping.git 3.4-rc1-cma-v24

Best regards

(thanks to Sandeep Patil for pointing this issue)

3. rebased onto Linux v3.4-rc1

v23:
1. fixed bug spotted by Aaro Koskinen (incorrect check inside VM_BUG_ON)

2. rebased onto next-20120222 tree from

v22:
1. Fixed compilation break caused by missing fixup patch in v21

2. Fixed typos in the comments

3. Removed superfluous #include entries

v21:
1. Fixed incorrect check which broke memory compaction code

2. Fixed hacky and racy min_free_kbytes handling

3. Added serialization patch to watermark calculation
