2013-11-21	x86, mm: do not leak page->ptl for pmd page tables	Kirill A. Shutemov	1	-3/+3
	There are two code paths how page with pmd page table can be freed: pmd_free() and pmd_free_tlb(). I've missed the second one and didn't add page table destructor call there. It leads to leak of page->ptl for pmd page tables, if dynamically allocated page->ptl is in use. The patch adds the missed destructor and modifies documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2013-11-15	mm: dynamically allocate page->ptl if it cannot be embedded to struct page	Kirill A. Shutemov	1	-0/+94
	If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page of table's page. We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC enabled. This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock if we can't embed it to struct page. page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t. The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to support dynamically allocated page->ptl.
