LITKE [imap]" , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: Hi Andrew. Can we give hugetlb demand faulting a spin in the mm tree? And could people with alpha, sparc, and ia64 machines give them a good spin? I haven't been able to test those arches yet. -Thanks - htlb-get_user_pages removes an optimization that is no longer valid when demand faulting huge pages - htlb-fault moves the fault logic from hugetlb_prefault() to hugetlb_pte_fault() and find_get_huge_page(). - htlb-acct adds an overcommit check to maintain the no-overcommit semantics provided by hugetlb_prefault() -- Adam Litke - (agl at us.ibm.com) IBM Linux Technology Center -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
