[PATCH 2/2] asm-generic: Don't warn that atomic_t is only 24 bit
32-bit Sparc used to only allow usage of 24-bit of it's atomic_t type. This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks to protect the atomic_t. These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the ... 28 Apr 2010 08:21

mm,migration: Remove straggling migration PTEs when page tables are being moved after the VMA has already moved
Thanks to you both for looking into this. I far prefer this general approach than cleaning up the migration PTEs as the page tables get copied. While it might "work", it's sloppy in the same way as having migration_entry_wait() do the cleanup was sloppy. It's far preferable to make the VMA move and page table copy ... 28 Apr 2010 07:14
