FWIW, this idea appears to work. For the curious: http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/freepv.diff This restores the enhancement of the original smallpv patch that allows pv pages to be freed and returned for general use. It tracks the free kva in its block in a way that requires no memory alloc/frees, has no bitmaps, and doesn't search anything. ups@ scares me for thinking of this. :-) -Peter _______________________________________________ cvs-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
