dynamic page size on linux

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As we all know that the page size is always fixed. its either 4kb or 4MB or 2mb.
 
But most of the times the file size is such that the last page allocated to the size is not properly used.
 
For eg. if the page size is 4kb and the file size is 13kb then it will consume 4 pages with the last page using only 1 kb of its 4kb.
 
So can we have some mechanism to utilize the wasted memory..
 
Can we use dynamic size for the last page so that the memory is not wasted?
