| |
Sorry for starting another Linux mm related thread, but I have a question for mm gurus: is swap space made availble after a page-in operation? When the page is mapped to a page-frame, there's no need to hold a copy on swap. Can such a swap space be reclaimed when the system is low on swap?
On old BSD system, i'm pretty sure the swap space is deallocated only at process termination.
