Re: unity mapping in kernel area?

Sorry that I accientally pushed the button before completing email. So
the full message is like below.

Hi,

In Linux kernel, we have unity-mapping feature, which maps the virtual
addresses in kernel area (above PAGE_OFFSET) to physical addresses in
the format:
       y = x - PAGE_OFFSET

in which "y" is physical address corresponding to the virtual address "x"

I understand that this unity-mapping is correct with all the virtual
addresses in the range of [PAGE_OFFSET, ZONE-NORMAL\ area.

Is that assumption correct?

Thanks a lot,
H
