:I have been wondering this for some time. There are many kernel :submaps: exec_map, clean_map, :etc. But if you look the code in vm_map_find(), we have to call splvm() :for kmem_map and its :submap mb_map, but not for other kernel submaps. So is there anything :special with these two :kernel submaps? : :Thanks for any help. : :-Zhihui
The kmem_map and mb_map's can be modified from interrupts. The other maps cannot. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
