Forcing all > allocations to be a single page makes many things easier. min_state areas for MCA will be smaller than a page ... so *my* use of this allocator doesn't require multi-page. You know best whether fetchop() will ever want more than a page. So far, nobody else has leapt out of the woods to claim any other uses for UC memory (that's a cue for anyone waiting to jump into this discussion). We could plan ahead for hypothetical future multi-page users by defining a "size" argument to alloc/free, but keep our (your) life simple for now by only implementing the one-page-at-a-time usage model. -Tony - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Jul 29 18:48:04 2003
