Re: [Xen-devel] Fw: bigphysarea patch on xen capable linux
Hi Jan,
I looked at the linux code xen_create_contiguous_region(). It appears the 2MB
limit comes from the #define MAX_CONIG_ORGER 9. Could that be modified to get
more than 2MB.
If not would you have other suggestions of how I can I get around 500M or more
of physically contiguous memory on Xen in Dom0 linux.
Thanks
Kashmira
