hello,
I am trying to implement hugetlbfs on the IBM Bluegene/L IO node
(ppc440) and I have a big problem as well as a few questions to ask
the group. I patched a 2.6.21.6 linux kernel (manually) with Edi
Shmueli's hugetlbfs implementation (found here:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=8427) for this. I did
have to make slight changes (described at the end) to make it work.
My test program is a shortened version of a sys v shared memory
example described in Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt
Hi !

The patchwork link unfortunately didn't survive the transition to
patchwork 2.

Do you know what's the status of Hugetlb support for 44x ? Is there any
plan to release that for upstream inclusion ?

Cheers,
Ben.
