What is fixmaps?

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

 



In setup_arch() I saw:

        paging_init();

        /*
         * NOTE: On x86-32, only from this point on, fixmaps are ready for use.
         */

What is the meaning of "fixmaps" as I saw it occasionally used in kernel source?
