    Subject[PATCH 0/2] x86: Retry to remove vmalloc/ioremap synchronzation
    Date
    From: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de>

    Hi,

    as discussed here are the updates to the recent patches and fixes to
    pre-allocate the vmalloc/ioremap second-level page-table pages on
    x86-64.

    Patch one is a re-send of

    commit 8bb9bf242d1f ("x86/mm/64: Do not sync vmalloc/ioremap mappings")

    with more explanations about what broke, what fixed it and why its now
    safe to apply it again.

    Patch two updates the comment in preallocate_vmalloc_pages(), it is
    mostly the wording from Dave Hansen, so he really deserved the
    authorship of it. I just didn't want to commit/send it in his name.
    Feel free to change authorship of this patch to him.

    Regards,

    Joerg
