Hi all,
I don't know why, but the mail i sent almost a week back has been resent on
the mailing list although i had sent it only once. I am not sure where
the problem is. So sorry for the duplicates to those who had already read
it and/or responded to it.
Thanx velco. (The problem was I was using an outdated source tree :-( )
Dave had also pointed out the same thing to me earlier.

Hmm, I see something not quite the same:
#define pte_free(pte) pte_free_fast(pte)
#ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
#define pgd_alloc(mm) get_pgd_slow()
#define pgd_free(pgd) free_pgd_slow(pgd)
#else
#define pgd_alloc(mm) get_pgd_fast()
#define pgd_free(pgd) free_pgd_fast(pgd)
#endif
This is 2.4.14, include/asm-i386/pgalloc.h and I doubt it has changed
since. Where do you see free_pte_slow ?
Regards,
