I am. Taking every single reference to a page into account simply won't scale to systems with 1TB of RAM. This is why I am working on implementing: http://linux-mm.org/PageReplacementDesign At the moment I only have the basic "plumbing" of the split VM working and am fixing some bugs in that. Expect a patch series with that soon, so you guys can review that code and tell me where to beat it into shape some more :) After that I will work on the policy bits, where we can really get performance benefits. The patch series should be mergeable in smaller increments, so we can take things slowly if desired. -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
