Subject: [wip-PATCH] rfi: PAGE_CACHE_SIZE suppoort
Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2001 01:06:47 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.33.0107050054470.5548-100000@toomuch.toronto.redhat.com> (raw)

Hello Linus, Al et al,

I attacked the PAGE_CACHE_SIZE support in the kernel for the last few days
in an attempt to get multipage PAGE_CACHE_SIZE support working and below
is what I've come up with.  It currently boots to single user read only,
doesn't quite have write support fixed properly yet, but is going pretty
well.  The reason for sending this out now is the question of what to do
about kmap() support.  In going through the ext2 dirs in pagecache code, I
had to fix the broken kmap() usage in the code.  Once that was done,
adding support for multipage page cache pages resulted in loops and other
oddities all over the code that might be better hidden from the
filesystem.  So the question is: do we want to make kmap support > order 0
mappings?  I'm looking forward to any input received, as well as feedback
on the patch.  Thanks.

Oh, Al, I'll extract the ext2 fixes for highmem from this patch for you
tomorrow, but have a look over them and see if you can spot anything that
I've missed.  Cheers,

		-ben
