    Did you miss "[PATCH v6 00/13] xen/arm: Split MMU code as the
    prepration
    of MPU work" ?


AFAIU Henry listed all the critical series for 4.18. Can you explain why do you think this is one?

Sorry, if I misunderstood something.

I assumed we were aiming for R82 MMU rework to be included in 4.18 release.

- Ayan


Cheers,



    It see that patches from [PATCH v6 06/13] xen/arm: Split page table
    related code to mmu/pt.c ... are yet to be reviewed and committed.
