I dont have in my head all possible 2^X values, but K, M, G, T : thats ok (less neurons needed) You focus on current x86_64 hardware. Some arches have lot of different choices. (powerpc has 64K, 16M, 16GB pages) In 10 years, you'll have pagesize=549755813888, or maybe pagesize=8589934592 I pretty much prefer pagesize=512GB and pagesize=8TB This is consistent with usual conventions and practice. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
