Subject: [patch] sg: simplify page_count manipulations
Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2006 16:52:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060118155242.GB28418@wotan.suse.de> (raw)

Hi Linus,

What do you think about the following couple of patches? Hugh's had a
look and thinks they're OK.

Nick

Allocate a compound page for the user mapping instead of tweaking
the page refcounts.
