That is a special case of the proposed solution. You could mlock the regions of interest. Those can then only be migrated but not swapped out. However, I think we need some limit on the number of pages one can mlock. Otherwise the VM can get into a situation where reclaim is not possible because the majority of memory is either mlocked or pinned by I/O etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
