Subject: how to free bootmem-allocated memory after system is up?
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:08:32 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43A1E960.7070904@nortel.com> (raw)
I've got some memory that was allocated very early on using the bootmem API.
Later on in the boot sequence I determine that I don't actually need
that memory, but the bootmem bitmaps have been torn down.
Is there any way to tell the memory subsystem, "by the way, here are a
bunch of pages that you can use that you didn't know about before"?
Chris
