Some people on IRC suggested the community might appreciate such a patch. Would this be well-accepted? Designing it to be general instead of just for our purposes would be more difficult, but we would be willing to put in the time if people actually want it. If it were to be implemented, what would be the best strategy? A new memory zone? Re-working the mm system to try and not break up chunks of 4MB if possible? Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Justin -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
