[PATCH v3 12/21] vmcore: allocate per-cpu crash_notes objects on page-size boundary

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary requirement, allocate per-cpu
crash_notes objects on page-size boundary.

/proc/vmcore on the 2nd kernel checks if each note objects is
allocated on page-size boundary. If there's some object not satisfying
the page-size boundary requirement, /proc/vmcore doesn't provide
mmap() interface.
