Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 13:30:58 +0100 From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@...dowen.org> To: linux-mm@...ck.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@...fujitsu.com>, Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>, Christoph Lameter <cl@...ux-foundation.org>, Rik van Riel <riel@...hat.com>, Mel Gorman <mel@....ul.ie>, Andy Whitcroft <apw@...dowen.org>, Nick Piggin <nickpiggin@...oo.com.au>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Subject: [PATCH 1/4] pull out the page pre-release and sanity check logic for reuse When we are about to release a page we perform a number of actions on that page. We clear down any anonymous mappings, confirm that the page is safe to release, check for freeing locks, before mapping the page should that be required. Pull this processing out into a helper function for reuse in a later patch. Note that we do not convert the similar cleardown in free_hot_cold_page() as the optimiser is unable to squash the loops during the inline.
