The thought of having a helper for the holes within zones code has come up on two different threads in the last couple of days. So I took the pfn_valid_within() patch I had developed for the linear reclaim series and pulled it forward to 2.6.21-rc4-mm1. I have split it into a three patch series to better align with the affected patch sets within -mm.
add-pfn_valid_within-helper-for-sub-MAX_ORDER-hole-detection -- adds the base helper and utilises it within the buddy allocator, anti-fragmentation-switch-over-to-pfn_valid_within() -- changes references within Mel Gormans anti-fragmentation patch series, and lumpy-move-to-using-pfn_valid_within() -- changes references with my lumpy reclaim patch series. -apw - 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/
