MOVABLE zone is certainly an important thing to keep working. And there is still quite a lot of work on the way. But as I've said this is more of a outlier than a norm. On the other hand movable zone is kinda hard requirement for a lot of application and it is to be expected that many features will be less than 100% compatible. Some usecases even impossible. That's why I am arguing that we should have a central document where the movable zone is documented with all the potential problems we have encountered over time and explicitly state which features are fully/partially incompatible. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
