[RFC PATCH 1/3] ARM: mm: Add discontiguous memory support.

Steve Capper steve.capper at arm.com
Wed Dec 12 12:40:47 EST 2012


This patch adds support for discontiguous memory, with a view to
each discontiguous block being assigned to a NUMA node (in a future
patch).

Discontiguous memory should only be used to back NUMA on systems
where sparse memory is not available.
