Subject: possible bug with vmalloc
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2004 21:44:53 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040813044453.23264.qmail@web81410.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
This is to report a problem I encountered for kernel
version 2.4.20-8. Preliminary search found no direct
pointer to this particular situation.
System: Dell Dimension 2400, one 2.4GHz P4, with 1GB
DDR SDRAM (2 512MB DIMM).
OS: Red Hat 9.0 with kernel version 2.4.20-8
Problem: vmalloc failed to allocate more than 90MB.
Initial debug found the following:
VMALLOC_START=0xF8800000
VMALLOC_END =0xFDFFE000
It leaves the range in between to about 88MB.
I wonder why VMALLOC_START is so high?
Thanks,
Charles
