Subject: Regarding the map variable in free_area_struct
Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 14:53:47 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1101288227.3787.20.camel@myLinux> (raw)
It is said in TLDP doc for the kernel that map variable is used as a
bitmask. If Nth block is free, correspondingly the Nth bit is set. How
is this implemented using the map variable? what I cant comprehend is
the significance of making map as:
"unsigned long* map"
Can someone help me in this regard!!
