Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org I would simply like to know if the possible address space (2^64) by a pointer is fulllly or partially used in the context of a process in the linux ia64 kernel. In the partial case, which part of the 2^64 is used. The anser to this question is important for me. Because what i try to do is to mix a reference counter&pointer for atomic operation on pointers. So if there is unused bits in the 64 bits pointer, I'll use them. thanks. ------------------------ Si_Brain - Noise from void. Kaydara, dduchemin@kaydara.com
