Abstract
A method for relocating virtual to physical memory mappings in a computer system is described in which a new hardware mapping entry (HME) block is allocated at a new location in memory. Contents of an old HME block are copied to the new HME block. The new HME block is added to a linked list of HME blocks. The old HME block is then removed from the linked list. A lock is acquired during the adding and during the removing. A machine readable medium having processor instructions for relocating virtual to physical memory mappings is also described.
