Subject: [PATCH] Calculate exactly how many pointers in PGD
Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 21:33:25 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46EFD3A5.8080102@lemote.com> (raw)
In 32-bit kernel, we treat BadAddr as a 32-bit address,
so using a page for pgd will be a waste when page size > 4k,
calculating exactly how many pointers in PGD will save memory
quite a bit.
