FWIW I was pondering the question of whether to do something along those lines or just scrap the default assignment entirely, so since I hadn't got round to saying that I've gone ahead and hacked up the alternative (similarly untested) for comparison :)
TBH I'm still not sure which one I prefer...
Claire did implement something like your suggestion originally, but I don't really like it as it doesn't scale for adding multiple global pools, e.g. for the 64-bit addressable one for the various encrypted secure guest schemes.
Couple of things:
- I am not pushing to Linus the Claire's patchset until we have a resolution on this. I hope you all agree that is a sensible way forward as much as I hate doing that.
Sure, it's a pity but we could clearly use a bit more time to get these just right and we've run out of time for 5.14.
I think the main question I have is how would you like to see patches for 5.15? i.e. as patches on top of devel/for-linus-5.14 or something else?
Cheers,
