Previously, we were storing the ring size in the ring pointer before it was actually allocated. We would then guard setting the ring size on checking for CONTEXT_ALLOC_BIT. This is error-prone at best and really only saves us a few bytes on something that already burns at least 4K. Instead, this patch adds a new ring_size field and makes everything use that. v2 (Daniel Vetter): - Replace 512 * SZ_4K with SZ_2M v2 (Jason Ekstrand): - Rebase on top of page migration code Signed-off-by: Jason Ekstrand <jason@jlekstrand.net> Reviewed-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20210708154835.528166-3-jason@jlekstrand.net
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
