First virtual area for kernel is ...

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

 



I'm reading how VM is manage under Linux. I know that Linux reserved 8Mo for the
kernel image so, virtual adresses from 0xC0000000 to 0xC0800000 are reserved for
image. After that, Linux reserved 16Mo for the DMA zone so, if I understand, the
first available virtual area is located at adress [PAGE_OFFSET + 0x00800000
(8Mo) + 0X01000000 (16Mo)] that is to say 0xC1800000. But if I read the book
"Understanding the linux virtual memory manager" it is said that the first
available virtual area is located at adress 0xC1000000. So it means that kernel
image is inside the DMA zone? I don't know if the question is relevant but I ask
to make things clear for me ;)

Thanks
