Before we can fully enable 64K pages, we need to first support a 64K scratch page if we intend to support the case where we have object sizes < 2M, since any scratch PTE must also point to a 64K region. Without this our 64K usage is limited to objects which completely fill the page-table, and therefore don't need any scratch. v2: add reminder about why 48b PPGTT Reported-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20171006145041.21673-14-matthew.auld@intel.com Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20171006221833.32439-13-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
