Friend of mine has a memory problem. Just one bit out of whole 64MB memory space is stuck to 1. How can I reserve and lock the page that has an error? Is it ok just to use
struct free_area_struct * area = free_area+order; MARK_USED((address_of_memory_error << PAGE_SHIFT) - PAGE_OFFSET, area);
to ensure that linux won't use the page? Providing that the page is in userspace, of course.
It would probably be a good idea to have this kind of feature as a kernel boot parameter. (if it isn't there already)
