We have hugepages and such for a reason. And this can be made more dynamic and flexible, as needed. Increasing the page size is a "stick your head in the sand" type solution by my book. Especially when you can make the hugepage facility stronger and thus get what you want without the memory wastage side effects. -- 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/
