Hi all, In the 'Understanding The Linux Kernl by Orielly' it is mentioned that 'the physical address is stored in a TLB entry, so that future references to the same linear address can be quickly translated'. What is sort of confusing to me is : isnt it more likely that you are going to access a location in the same _page_ rather than the same _location_ itself ? So why store the _whole_ address ? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. tia anupam -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
