How to test your driver for PAE mode ?

zmau · 03-20-2016, 11:22 AM

Hi all,

This is a branch of another thread :http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-a-4175575248/

The important statement from that thread is "Most of the issues with PAE I can recall involved drivers that misbehaved when they were loaded in the higher addressing space"

I am writing a device driver, and I want to test my driver (does it work fine with PAE ?).
How do I make sure that the driver is loaded in the higher addressing space ?
IMHO, this is the way to test if my driver really works fine in this scenario.

Thanks
zmau
