^ So you could never ever have more than 126 GB, correct?

I assume that's nothing new.


Before this patch, the limit was 128GB, so in my sense, there is nothing new. If ever we want to increase that limit, we'll just have to lower PAGE_OFFSET, there is still some unused virtual addresses after kasan for example.

Thanks,
