Thanks for the that .I have another question what about the memory that we
create for accessing the memory mapped registers.Are those also part of the
page table.

Hi Ajay,
Q: does the kernel create page tables for the memory returned by kmalloc.
A: Yes, it does. Without page allocation table, the kernel is unable to
know which chunks of memory are allocated and which are not.
http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-8-sect-1 is a fairly good introduction of
kmallo
Kmalloc is used for returning a logical address pointer to a chunk of
physical address.My question is that the locgical address that kmalloc is a
part of the virtual memory .i.e does the kernel create page tables for the
memory returned by kmalloc.
