The patches I have been working on implement basic multiple huge page size support. The code supports the idea of multiple mounted hugetlbfs filesystems each having a distinct page size. As of now, when available the system default huge page size is preferred. To use an alternate size (such as 64kB or 16GB) just make sure that size is the only one mounted. The next iteration of patches will allow explicit specification of the page size for segment remapping and morecore. > I'd like to do some testing of the kernel multiple size support using > the libhugetlbfs testsuite. I will post the patches in their current state as an RFC. I'd appreciate your comments and careful review. I have held the patches back for a bit as I resolve some test case failures. -- Adam Litke - (agl at us.ibm.com) IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Libhugetlbfs-devel mailing list Libhugetlbfs-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libhugetlbfs-devel
