Hi, I was hoping for a response from someone on the core team about the functionality of vm_page_alloc_contig...does it do what it is supposed to do in version 3.0? One of the last emails I see on it in the hackers archive suggest it doesn't work as intended - see the included email. The comments in cvsweb on vm revisions also seem unclear as to the status of vm_page_contig_alloc. Anne ------- Forwarded Message Date: Thu, 6 Feb 1997 00:12:02 -0500 (EST) From: "John S.

These are almost guaranteed NOT to work after the system is fully up. John ------- End of Forwarded Message
