This also introduces pteval_t. It would be useful to have the introduction of pteval_t as a separate patch, which not only introduces the typedef, but also makes use of it. > +#ifndef _ASM_PGTABLE_2LEVEL_TYPES_H > +#define _ASM_PGTABLE_2LEVEL_TYPES_H > + > +#undef STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS > + > +typedef unsigned long pteval_t; > + > +#ifdef STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS > +/* > + * These are used to make use of C type-checking.. > + */ > +typedef struct { unsigned long pte; } pte_t; This should become: typedef struct { pteval_t pte; } pte_t; L_PTE_* can then be declared using linux/const.h stuff to typedef them to pteval_t. shared_pte_mask also needs to be pteval_t. As far as the __p*_error() functions, these should probably be passed the pte/pmd/pgd value itself, rather than first passing them through __pte_val() et.al. Of couse, I now have patches for this and my other points... will sort them out into a series in the next few days. -- 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/
