Yes, I got that. And I see from ... > #3 0x0000000060012731 in page_set_flags (start=140737488224256, > end=18446744073709551615, flags=32) ... here that the range we're reserving is 0x7ffffffe0000 ... 0x7fffffffffff which is a mere 128k range. Which ought to allocate no more than a single leaf page table (and thus N-1 pages for the N-level table). Which doesn't answer the question of why you'd wind up running out of memory. r~
