If you remember, a little while back I tried to get plex86 running on
2.4-test. Now with 2.4.0-test9...
I got bored again (even though I have very important other things to do...)
and got to hacking around with plex86 again. 2.4 problem traced to
retrieve_phy_pages. The user-side gets:
Processing command-line options
Opening VM (/dev/plex86)
Processing configuration script conf/plex86.conf
Allocating 4MB of physical memory in VM
ioctl
: Cannot allocate memory
and in my kernel logs (with a few inserted printk's):
host_map_page
retrieve_phy_pages: P==0
[so retrieve_phy_pages is returning 0]
returning page.
plex86: alloc_vm_pages failed at 4
And that's as far as my feeble mind can comprehend the workings of the
code. The inline asm in retrieve_phy_pages further serves to bewilder
me ... Help!
