I have been looking for answer for this but never seem to get anywhere. Supposed I have 16GB of physical memory, my question is, in 32bit x86 linux, how can I use the physical memory beyond the 4GB boundary in my kernel drivers? 1. What CONFIG parameters for kernel compilation is needed (or is for this purpose)? 2. Which are the main key functions or global variable for going this? The pagetable is still the same mem_map right? And BTW, Ulrich Drepper has annouced a 114 pages article on "What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory". http://people.redhat.com/drepper/cpumemory.pdf Fantastic!!!! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
