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

 



hello all,

           I am going thru linux kernel 2.2 source code ( as i have
Daniel .P. Bovet's book on kernel 2.2) ,i have reached init/main.c file
and have come to function fixmap_init ,i am unable to make any thing out
of this as there is no comments and inspite of searching the net
couldn't find any links which explain this. Even the text book dosen't
deals with this file.

 Can some one help me with this function of give me pointers to any
links which explain this file. Also  the function makes use of varable
__end_of_fixed_addresses what is the value of this variable ?  any help
of advice will be greatly helpful,thanks in advance
