| |
Hey all ! I am a newbie ! Recently I read a to do related huge pages on linux-mm.org the statement being : "Fork of an application with huge pages when no huge pages are left - must fail over to small pages." - Firstly,according to COW whenever the write is occured then the copy of huge pages will start - Now if no huge page is left we need to go for 4Kb pages....But the application requires the huge page ! - One solution for this might be to use bunch of 4Kb pages to satisfy the requirement....Moreover there is no demand paging or swapping concept for huge pages ! Will this topic be feasible to go forward to....? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
