I don't think we should be taking patches like this in to the kernel until we've seen the other side of it. Where is the page allocator code which will see a page belonging to no zone? Am I missing it in this set? I see about 80 or so calls to page_zone() in the kernel. How will a zone-less page look to all of these sites? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
