> I guess, mirrored memory should be allocated if !__GFP_HIGHMEM or !__GFP_MOVABLE HIGHMEM shouldn't matter - partial memory mirror only makes any sense on X86_64 systems ... 32-bit kernels don't even boot on systems with 64GB, and the minimum rational configuration for a machine that supports mirror is 128GB (4 cpu sockets * 2 memory controller per socket * 4 channels per controller * 4GB DIMM ... leaving any channels empty likely leaves you short of memory bandwidth for these high core count processors). MOVABLE is mostly the opposite of MIRROR - we never want to fill a kernel allocation from a MOVABLE page. I want all kernel allocations to be from MIRROR. -Tony -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
