Subject: [patch 21/47] Change vmalloc defintions
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 16:19:46 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071220152107.723041491@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20071220151925.405881218@de.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 120-vmalloc.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6218 bytes --]

From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

Currently the vmalloc area starts at a dynamic address depending on
the memory size. There was also an 8MB security hole after the
physical memory to catch out-of-bounds accesses.
We can simplify the code by putting the vmalloc area explicitely at
the top of the kernel mapping and setting the vmalloc size to a fixed
value of 128MB/128GB for 31bit/64bit systems. Part of the vmalloc
area will be used for the vmem_map. This leaves an area of 96MB/1GB
for normal vmalloc allocations.
