If the maximum PFN 9 between two adjacent zones match, it is assumed that the zone is empty. 10 For example, if arch_max_dma_pfn == arch_max_dma32_pfn, it is assumed 11 that arch_max_dma32_pfn has no pages. It is also assumed that a zone 12 starts where the previous one ended. For example, ZONE_DMA32 starts 13 at arch_max_dma_pfn. 14</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="API-find-min-pfn-with-active-regions.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch04s03.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="API-set-dma-reserve.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"><span class="phrase">find_min_pfn_with_active_regions</span> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> <span class="phrase">set_dma_reserve</span></td></tr></table></div></body></html> 15
