Re: [RFC][PATCH v3 04/22] mm, um: add gfp flags variant of pmd andpte allocations

From: Prasad Joshi
Date: Fri Mar 18 2011 - 15:48:59 EST



- Added __pte_alloc_one_kernel() which is similar to pte_alloc_one_kernel()
but accepts an additional parameter to be used during page allocation.

- The function pte_alloc_one_kernel() has been modified to call
__pte_alloc_one_kernel().

- The similar changes are done for pmd allocations. The name of the newly
added function is __pmd_alloc_one().

- changes help in fixing the Bug 30702
