[RFC PATCHv2 4/4] mm/vmalloc.c: Treat the entire kernel virtual space as vmalloc

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

 



With CONFIG_ENABLE_VMALLOC_SAVINGS, all lowmem is tracked in
vmalloc. This means that all the kernel virtual address space
can be treated as part of the vmalloc region. Allow vm areas
to be allocated from the full kernel address range.
