Instead of storing the map per CPU provide and use per task storage. That prepares for local kmaps which are preemptible. The context switch code is preparatory and not yet in use because kmap_atomic() runs with preemption disabled. Will be made usable in the next step. The context switch logic is safe even when an interrupt happens after clearing or before restoring the kmaps. The kmap index in

The mapping code is odd and looks broken. See FIXME in the comment. Also fix the harmless off by one in the FIX_KMAP_END define.

The kmap_atomic* interfaces in all architectures are pretty much the same except for post map operations (flush) and pre- and post unmap operations. Provide a generic variant for that. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at linutronix.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm at linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-mm at kvack.org --- V3: Do not reuse the kmap_atomic_idx pile and use kmap_size.h right

Adopt the map ordering to match the other architectures and the generic code. Also make the maximum entries limited and not dependend on the number of CPUs. With the original implementation did the following calculation: nr_slots = mapsize >> PAGE_SHIFT; The results in either 512 or 1024 total slots depending on configuration. The total slots have to be divided by the number of CPUs to

Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries which may still have

For whatever reasons SH has highmem bits all over the place but does not enable it via Kconfig. Remove the bitrot.

I''m sure everyone has seen the drop of VMI patches for Linux at this point, but just in case, the link is included below. I''ve read this version of the VMI spec and have made my way through most of the patches. While I wasn''t really that impressed with the first spec wrt Xen, the second version seems to be much more palatable. Specifically, the code inlining and

The header is not longer used and on alpha, ia64, openrisc, parisc and um it was completely unused anyway as these architectures have no highmem support.

Hi Andi, This series of patches updates paravirt_ops in various ways. Some of the changes are plain cleanups and improvements, and some add some interfaces necessary for Xen. The brief overview: add-MAINTAINERS.patch - obvious remove-CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.patch - no longer needed paravirt-nop.patch - mark nop operations consistently paravirt-pte-accessors.patch - operations to pack/unpack

Now that the kmap atomic index is stored in task struct provide a preemptible variant. On context switch the maps of an outgoing task are removed and the map of the incoming task are restored. That's obviously slow, but highmem is slow anyway. The kmap_local.*() functions can be invoked from both preemptible and atomic context. kmap local sections disable migration to keep the resulting

Enhance adjust_managed_page_count() to adjust totalhigh_pages for highmem pages. And change code which directly adjusts totalram_pages to use adjust_managed_page_count() because it adjusts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and zone->managed_pages altogether in a safe way. Remove inc_totalhigh_pages() and dec_totalhigh_pages() from xen/balloon driver bacause adjust_managed_page_count() has
