That's not the same. In particular, his version accounts for the fractional page at the beginning, while yours doesn't. While it's tempting to use algebra to simplify things, it's not safe to do so when the expression involves division over the integers. The only care-free integer math in a computer is subtraction and ++. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
