Can please someone explain its reason ? If we try to page off kernel structures we might have a deadlock trying to bring it back. Imagine you removed from memory for disk drivers code text, or swapped data needed for paging algorithm. Now to bring any data back you need the code that does not present in memory and should be paged in -> deadlock. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
