Hi Valdis, I see. Thanks, I remember reading about the merits of virtual address in the books. But still it's confusing. Can two virtual addresses from the "same process" (in init process, one for nocache pool, the other not) point to the same physical address? I just want to make sure this is not a problem in my situtation. As I said earlier, in my case, during the init process, __nocache_fix(0xc8000000) is 0xc0540000. which is physically 0x60540000. Is this ok? could someone elaborate on this to me?

Then think about how mmap() of a shared region of a file at different virtual addresses in different processes works. Then you'll be able to answer your own question... _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
