The patch titled
i386: pte drop ptep_get_and_clear paravirt op
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
i386-pte-drop-ptep_get_and_clear-paravirt-op.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: i386: pte drop ptep_get_and_clear paravirt op
From: Zachary Amsden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In shadow mode hypervisors, ptep_get_and_clear achieves the desired purpose of
keeping the shadows in sync by issuing a native_get_and_clear, followed by a
call to pte_update, which indicates the PTE has been modified.
Direct mode hypervisors (Xen) have no need for this anyway, and will trap the
update using writable pagetables.
This means no hypervisor makes use of ptep_get_and_clear; there is no reason
to have it in the paravirt-ops structure. Change confusing terminology about
raw vs. native functions into consistent use of native_pte_xxx for operations
which do not invoke paravirt-ops.
