Reserve physical page

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

 



Hello everyone,
   I am wondering whether it is possible to reserve a particular physical page in the kernel.
The GFP pages can start from _any_ location, and i cannot find a way to specify a starting pfn. 
I need a few dozen pages to store a bitmap starting at a particular physical page frame number.
   Perhaps i am trying to do this wrong? I am trying to establish a (one-way) communication between KVM and a guest VM, by assuming that if KVM knows the physical address in the VM , it can access that bitmap. 
 
  Thanks !
