Subject: Difference between get_free_page() and page_cache_alloc() ?
Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2001 20:44:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <25CCDDD8.57E86219.0F76C228@netscape.net> (raw)
get_free_page() returns a pointer to a page while page_cache_alloc returns a pointer to a page struct.
Is page_cache_alloc more efficient than get_free_page()?
Also, does get_free_page returns a pointer to a contiguous block of physical memory?
Thanks
