Subject: [Linux-ia64] kmalloc() and page sizes
Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 10:18:49 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590698805788@msgid-missing> (raw)
Hi all!
In the current kernels the size limit for kmalloc() is 128KB. The ia64
architecture provides pagesizes ranging from 4K, ... , 64K, 256K, ... ,
4G. If we would increase the maximum kmalloc() size limit to 256K (or
1M) this would match perfectly to the pagesizes.
Since I need a large (256K) segment from kmalloc(), I would appreciate
the increase of the size limit. Maybe also other 64Bit architectures
could benefit from that.
Please tell your opinion to the list.
Christian
