| |
Hi,
Can user space application allocate memory which is virtually and physically aligned to the system's page boundary in the Linux 2.6.x? Such as using posix_memalign().
In other way, If user space application allocates memory which is aligned to page boundary for say 4 pages using posix_memalign(), will is ensure that it corresponds to exactly 4 physical pages in kernel which can be pinned down?
Regards, Parav Pandit
