This idea is from Neil. In case of breaking user-space applications, it modifies this boot option after it decides how much memory should be reserved. On different arch, the threshold and reserved memory size is different. Please refer patch 8/8 which contains an update for the documentation. Patch 1/8 implements shrinking reserved memory at run-time, which is useful when more than enough memory is reserved automatically. Note: This patchset was only tested on x86_64 with differernt memory sizes.I'd prefer that this change had been runtime tested on ia64 and powerpc and has had some quality review from relevant developers of those architectures. Looking at the cc's, I'm not sure that the powerpc guys even know about this work?
Ok, let me try to find some ppc and ia64 machines in the company.. ;) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
