Hi...
1. What CONFIG parameters for kernel compilation is needed (or is for this purpose)?
Please check Vivek's and Michael's answers ...
2. Which are the main key functions or global variable for going this? The pagetable is still the same mem_map right?
You meant, how to ask for pages from highmem zone? kmalloc(GFP_HIGHUSER) is an example on how to allocate from this pool. Check http://lxr.linux.no/source/include/linux/gfp.h#L20
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
Ulrich is the best! The only one I know who called Kaspersky a balooney :) regards, Mulyadi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
