Hmmm. There aren't _that_ many of those cases, right? Are there any that absolutely need raw access to the buddy allocator? I'm pretty sure that pagetables can be moved over to a slab, as long as we bump up the alignment. It does seem a wee bit silly to have the pointer in _all_ of the struct pages, even the ones for which we will never do any accounting (and even on kernels that never need it). But, a hashing scheme sounds like a fine idea. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
