[PATCH] Calculate exactly how many pointers in PGD

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

 



In 32-bit kernel, we treat BadAddr as a 32-bit address,
so using a page for pgd will be a waste when page size > 4k,
calculating exactly how many pointers in PGD will save memory
quite a bit.
