I mean allocating memory by > __get_free_page() I have to set PAGE_NO_CACHE bit. I don't think you can do it. The only place where a flag like PAGE_NO_CACHE is useful is in the page table entry. But the bootmem allocator is used *before* page tables are set up. -Ravi. __________________________________________________ Yahoo! - We Remember 9-11: A tribute to the more than 3,000 lives lost http://dir.remember.yahoo.com/tribute -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
