Hi Pavel,
uhm, maybe I am mistaken, but should not this be:
usemap += usemap_size(); ?
usermap_size() = 32 bytes
while
usemap_longs = 4 bytes
AFAIK, each section->pageblock_flags holds 4 words, each word covers 16 pageblocks.
So 16 * 4 = 64 pageblocks, and each pageblock is 512 pfns.
So 64 * 512 = 32768 (PAGES_PER_SECTION).
Am I wrong?
