The procedure above is changing the value that gets written into a memory manager structure that defines the pagepool size. In ARM assembly language the two bytes being changed represent a constant and a shift value. If the 2nd byte is 16, then the value is the first byte. If the 2nd byte is 15 then the value is 4x the first byte. Thus 02 15 = 08 16 = 8MB pagepool. If you want a dynamic page pool, use 00 15. This establishes the value of 0 written to the memory manager structure (00 16 will yield the same result). Adventuresome non-Verizon folks could try this and see how it goes. Verizon folks should probably NOT try this.

Thanks, this makes sense.
I was reading the first part but the values the OP had in his explanation didn't add up, this does.
Admin should sticky this somewhere, there seems to be a lot of confusion out there about how pagepool is calculated.
