| |
All,
TASK_UNMAPPED_SIZE is defined in include/asm-i386/processor.h as:
#define TASK_UNMAPPED_SIZE (TASK_SIZE / 3)
The value of TASK_SIZE is defined as PAGE_OFFSET which is set to 0xC0000000 (page.h). This works out to be a value of 0x4000000.
The question is: Are there any negative side effects in defining TASK_UNMAPPED_SIZE to 0x1000000?
By doing this we allow a process to access more memory. On Oracle it allows us to grow our buffer size from 1.7 GB to 2.4 GB improving overall performance by reducing I/O.
Thanks in advance,
