I saw a server with 6GB ram installed on an x86_32 machine running Linux RedHat 7.3 with Kernel 2.4. There was a process called kscand which ate lots of CPU. After some search , i found out that this kernel process swaps the memory regions below 4GB to and from the upper region. What is the behaviour of Kernel 2.6 for this case running on an x86_32 with more than 4GB ram ? does ksacnd hack still exist ? Also , is this behaviour true for exact 4GB ram machines too ?
