What is more likely is that you will get pushed to doing something like periodically scanning memory as part of a separate power management module and calling into PASR if regions of memory that are found that can be powered down in some ways.With this solution, we need in any case to add some hooks in the allocator to ensure the pages being allocated are refreshed.
Why do you insist on making this happen at page level when you're only able to power off *much* larger chunks? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
