[PATCH v2 0/2] Arch-specific user pgtables ceiling

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Tue Feb 26 2013 - 11:26:38 EST


That's the second version of the series introducing
USER_PGTABLES_CEILING and defining it to TASK_SIZE on ARM.

Russell, do you ack these patches (or let me know if you have further
comments)? I think it's better if they go upstream together rather than
one via akpm and the other via the arm tree.

Thanks.


Changes from v1:
- Only defining USER_PGTABLES_CEILING to TASK_SIZE when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
is enabled. The classic ARM MMU uses the default ceiling 0.
- Improved commit log stating that the shared page table freeing is
already handled by pgd_free() for the ARM LPAE case.
- Cc'ed stable (starting with 3.3 when ARM LPAE was merged).
