That's a limitation of linux. Linux drivers assume physically contigous pages are available for anything that crosses a page boundary. KISS when it works but not robust. FWIW, I had the impression most arches now can support bigger page sizes. mips and ia64 implement bigger pages today. I thought ppc, sparc, i386, and x86-64 could also support pages sizes > 4k but am not really sure about all those. grant _______________________________________________ openib-general mailing list [email protected] http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general To unsubscribe, please visit http://openib.org/mailman/listinfo/openib-general
