Yes. > Also in the book "Understanding the Linux Kernel" in chapter 3: > Processes there is a diagram of the stack and the thread_info structure. The > addresses shown are 0x015fa000 etc. Shouldn't the addresses start from > 0xc0000000? Is that a typo? The diagram's title is "Storing the thread_info structure and the process kernel stack in two page frames". So its probably referring to physically memory? Further the addresses indicate that this is ZONE_NORMAL in physical memory (Contains page frames of memory at and above 16 MB and below 896 MB). So I think the diagram is alright. -Joel -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
