For a user/kernel configuration of 3/1GB and (0-16M DMA , 16-896 - Low , 896 - 1024 - High )
Q: Is amount of memory allocated to Vmalloc limited to 128MB?
I read an article which said to increase the Vmalloc allocation size we need to either
1) Change user/kernel distribution like 2.75/1.25 which proportionately increase the address space available to High memory
2) For a fixed user/kernel distribution reduce the low memory like 16-800 thereby increasing the size available for high memory.
In either of the case the memory for vmalloc is limited to user/kernel distribution . i.e. the amount of virtual address space available in high memory.
I am a beginner, so please let me know if my understanding is correct..and rectify in-case of wrong.?
