Hmm, I was told 512 byte cpumasks for x86 earlier. Why is this suddenly 2K? 2K is too much imho. If you really want to go that big you have to look in allocating them all separately imho. But messing with the stack TLB entries and risking more TLB misses is not a good idea. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
