Hi every one,
I use the ltp (Linux-Test-Project) and run it on both ppc64 and
x86_64.
There is a code like follows in
`ltp/testcase/kernel/mem/hugetbl/hugemmap/hugemmap03.c`:
`code`
#define HIGH_ADDR (void *)(0x1000000000000)
/* Attempt to mmap into highmem addr, should get ENOMEM */
addr = mmap(HIGH_ADDR, map_sz, PROT_READ,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_FIXED, fildes, 0);
`code ends`
It return ENOMEM on x86_64 as well as we expected. But return
EINVAL on ppc64. So I want to know the MAX high addr for PPC64.
That's a pretty bogus test, since the max address is not specified
strictly. It's currently 4T on ppc64, but patches that are in the
works will change it to 16T.
Hi, I tested it for rhel6. Also I change the high_addr to `0x7ffffffffff`
but it got EINVAL again.
So, I nearly certain that rhel6 can only support for 4T.
So, do you think that I should change the high_addr to `0x3ffffffffff`?
Also I'm not convinced that "highmem addr" has any meaning in the
context of userspace addresses.
I think may be the coder want to test kernel by userspace program? :-(
Thank you very very much, David.
