Look at what you're doing to your TLB (and if you made IPv4 a removable module, I'll bet real money you have a bug unless you are *very* *very* clever). Modules can be mapped using a large PTE mapping. I've been meaning to do this on sparc64 for a long time. So this TLB argument alone is not sufficient :-) I do concur on the "ipv4 as module is difficult to get correct" argument however. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
