...t,lru,private, ... so nothing special there. Once we actually decoupled "struct folio" from "struct page", we *might* have to play less tricks, because we could just have a callback pointer there. But well, maybe we also want to save some space in there. Do we want dedicated memdescs for hugetlb/guest_memfd that extend folios in the future? I don't know, maybe. I'm currently wondering if we can use folio->private for the time being. Either (a) If folio->private is still set once the refcount drops to 0, it indicates that there is a freeing callback/owner_ops...

...e, but I'm not sure if modules will have a need. Each memdesc type will have its own function to call to free the memdesc. So we'll still have folio_put(). But slab does not have, need nor want a refcount, so it'll just slab_free(). I expect us to keep around a list of recently-freed memdescs of a particular type with their pages still attached so that we can allocate them again quickly (or reclaim them under memory pressure). Once that freelist overflows, we'll free a batch of them to the buddy allocator (for the pages) and the slab allocator (for the memdesc itself). > guest_...

I have an Asus A8V-MX motherboard with an AMD Athlong 64 X2 3800+ CPU and I'm trying to run powerd to keep it cooler/quieter/greener. I'm running -STABLE (6.1-RC) cvsup'ed a couple of days ago, with a kernel config that consists of the SMP sample plus an atapicam device. I'm loading the cpufreq.ko module in /boot/loader.conf. I've attached my dmesg output and sysctl -a

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/xen domU support based on ia64/pv_ops frame work which was sent as another patchest. This patchset does the followings. - Some preparation work. Mainly importing header files to define related structures. - Then, define functions related to hypercall which is the way to communicate with Xen hypervisor. - Add some helper functions which is necessary to
