Hi,

Is creating Shared memory of greater or closer to 4MB creates page table
entries in all processes sharing it?

I think, it will be good to allocate a single page-table and share it
across process than creating 1024 PTE's in all processes sharing it. Is this
taken care in 2.1.x kernel?

Please comment on this. Since, Iam not in mailing list, copy reply to my
mail address.

Regards,

Muthu. O.L.
