Subject: [PATCH 2/2] UML memory hotplug cleanups
Date: Thu, 06 Apr 2006 12:55:27 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200604061655.k36GtRNa005151@ccure.user-mode-linux.org> (raw)
Change memory hotplug to use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC, so that it
will grab memory without sleeping, but doesn't try to use the emergency pools.
A small list initialization suggested by Daniel Phillips - don't initialize
lists which are just about to be list_add-ed.
