Subject: why do we still need bootmem allocator?
Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2018 16:07:54 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180625140754.GB29102@dhcp22.suse.cz> (raw)
Hi,
I am wondering why do we still keep mm/bootmem.c when most architectures
already moved to nobootmem. Is there any fundamental reason why others
cannot or this is just a matter of work? Btw. what really needs to be
done? Btw. is there any documentation telling us what needs to be done
in that regards?
