There are not so many free pages in a > typical server system. As Fengguang said -- memory error handling is tricky.

In general they are only worth doing if the situation is common and represents a significant percentage of the total pages of a relevant server workload. -Andi -- ak@...ux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
