[patch 115/265] arch_rebalance_pgtables call

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

 



From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

In order to change the layout of the page tables after an mmap has crossed the
adress space limit of the current page table layout a architecture hook in
get_unmapped_area is needed.  The arguments are the address of the new mapping
and the length of it.
