Subject: [Linux-ia64] Simple question about pointers address space.
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 18:10:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590698805102@msgid-missing> (raw)
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.
