> Virtual mmap allows holes in the same way as page tables do. I don't want to take expensive TLB misses to lookup a page. Don't force a virtual mapping solution down my throat if that is not what I believe as a platform maintainer works best for me. TLB misses are extremely expensive on some platforms, that's why I try to make all the critical structures go through the 4MB locked TLB entry for the kernel image, or failing that the 4MB linear mappings at PAGE_OFFSET on sparc64. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
