But it turns out he hadn't actually posted them after refactoring in response to comments back in June... I'm covering for him in his absence and had previously reviewed this set. This version contains fixes in response to the comments in June. The patches are pulled straight from Dave's development tree, as tested, with a minor build/merge change to patch #3 which was otherwise inadvertantly re-introducing an (unused) variable that Avi more recently had removed. Compared to the previous version from June: - patch #3 addresses Marcelo's comment about a double deaccounting of kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages - patch #4 includes protection of the used mmu page counts in response to Avi's comments Avi: if Dave's use of a per cpu counter in the refactored patch #4 is acceptable to you, then the series is for merging. -- Tim Pepper IBM Linux Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
