i recall a discussion about this once upon a time, but there are numerous invocations of the form: memset(addr, 0, PAGE_SIZE) for which *some* of those could probably be replaced by a call to clear_page() instead. just to see the possibilities: grep -Er "memset ?\([^,]+, ?0, ?PAGE_SIZE\)" ${DIR} | grep -v "#define clear_page" . if someone wanted to poke around there, they're welcome to it. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
