Subject: Highmemory Problem with RHEL3 .... 2.4.21-5.ELsmp
Date: Mon, 8 Aug 2005 08:50:54 +0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1e62d137050807205047daf9e0@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I m facing a problem in RHEL3 (2.4.21-5.ELsmp) kernel while using
kmap_atomic on the pages reserved at the boot time !!!!
At the boot time I reserved pages above 2GB for later use by my module
..... And when I was using those reserved pages through kmap_atomic
system hangs; although kmap_atomic successfully returns me the virtual
address but when I use that virtual address like in memcpy the system
hangs .....
I m unable to findout why it is happening in RHEL3 kernel !!!! Plz
help me in this regard ....

P.S.
My memory reservation and later using that memory through kmap_atomic
works well on the kernels other than RHEL3 2.4.21-e.ELsmp
.............. the page reservation was done in the
arch/i386/mm/init.c file in function one_highpage_init ...... I have
Machine with 16GB RAM and 2 - Xeon 2.4GHz Processors .....
