Hello all, Re-reading: <http://www.hpl.hp.com/hpjournal/96feb/feb96a6.pdf> I noticed another detail: sic "Recall that the I/O page directory contains all active address translations and must be memory-resident." Those key words "must be memory-resident" would mean to me never paged (in/out)? Even thought I read ./include/linux/gfp.h, it's not clear to me which could be the gfp_mask I can use in: ioc->pdir_base = (u64 *)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL, get_order(ioc->pdir_size)); to advise kernel to never paging this I/O page directory? Any idea?
