The current stage2 page-table allocator uses a memcache to get pre-allocated pages when it needs any. To allow re-using this code at EL2 which uses a concept of memory pools, make the memcache argument to kvm_pgtable_stage2_map() anonymous. and let the mm_ops zalloc_page() callbacks use it the way they need to.

OK, though I think this is unrelated to this change -- this is already true today I believe. Anyhow, I'll pile a change on top. Cheers, Quentin _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@lists.cs.columbia.edu https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
