With gigantic pages it may not be true that struct page structures are contiguous across the entire gigantic page. The nth_page macro is used here in place of direct pointer arithmetic to correct for this. Mike said: : This error could cause addressing exceptions. However, this is only : possible in configurations where CONFIG_SPARSEMEM && : !CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. Such a configuration option is rare and : unknown to be the default anywhere.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
