Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: Hi folks, I'm trying to implement the pure LRU algorithm and a new page replacement algorithm on top of 2.4.5 kernel, and compare their performance. Can anybody tell me if there is an easy way to seperate the buffer cache management from the virtual memory management? And how to preallocate a chunk of memory for buffer cache usage exclusively, say, 32M exclusively for buffer cache?
