Hi Jiri,

Thanks for quick review.

Agreed.

It's 'right' just for current PAGE_SIZE & THREAD_SIZE configs:

// arch/m68k/include/asm/thread_info.h
#if PAGE_SHIFT < 13
#ifdef CONFIG_4KSTACKS
#define THREAD_SIZE     4096
#else
#define THREAD_SIZE     8192
#endif
#else
#define THREAD_SIZE     PAGE_SIZE
#endif
#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER       ((THREAD_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE) - 1)

// arch/m68k/include/asm/page.h
#if defined(CONFIG_SUN3) || defined(CONFIG_COLDFIRE)
#define PAGE_SHIFT      13
#else
#define PAGE_SHIFT      12
#endif
#define PAGE_SIZE       (_AC(1, UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK       (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
#define PAGE_OFFSET     (PAGE_OFFSET_RAW)

But it's incorrect in generic/mathematical way.

Thanks,

    Dawei
