From: "Stephen Biggs" <s.biggs@softier.com> Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 21:29:06 -0700 You tell me. You're saying a billion pages (((unsigned long)(~0)) >> 2) also crashes) is never going to be realistically possible? On a 32-bit system? No. x86 cpus are architectually limited to 64GB of memory, shift that right by PAGE_SIZE (13) and we're still within bounds. Larger memory will be then be found on 64-bit systems, and hey then the limit becomes significantly higher. So that is exactly what I am saying, it is not realistically possible. - 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/ | |||||||||
