At least unless Andre can point out something I've forgotten any behaviour seen on it should be the same as seen on any other IDE controller with DMA support. In practical terms that should mean you can obsere the same HPT366 problem he does on whatever random IDE controller is on your desktop box > But notice how that actually doesn't have anything to do with memory size, > and makes your "scale by max memory" thing illogical. When you are dealing with the VM limit which the limiter was originally added for then it makes a lot of sense. When you want to use it solely for other purposes then it doesnt. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
