From: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2002 12:44:38 +0000 (GMT) If at boot time we keep a big chunk of ram free at the kernel end and just load modules one after each other into that space until we get into real paging that problem goes away
And we do have module_map/module_unmap interfaces already so it's easy to toy with this.
I've always been meaning to do a "alloc 4MB page at boot, lock into TLB, carve module pages out of that, vmalloc when that runs out" on sparc64. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
