hai , I am thinking of giving support to mmap of a file that is partially in page cache using hugetlbfs.What i am thinking is that whenever a file is too big(in the range of Gigabytes), we can use huge pages and free the the page frames that have been used by this file so that other small files may use them. Using hugepages will reduce TLB misses and hence enhance system throughput. This will also give other processes to use the page frames that were used by the file which has been copied into hugepages.Is there any support for this in linux 2.6 kernel till date?What are the problems that i may face? Has anyone got any solution for this problem? Sincerely, Prashant Anand -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
