Secondly you keep FUDding people with lots of theoretical concerns assuming Mel's approaches must fail. If there is an issue (I guess there must be right?) then please give us a concrete case of a failure that we can work against. Allocations can currently fail and all code has the requirement to handle failure cases in one form or another. Currently we can only handle up to order 3 allocs it seems. 2M pages (and in particular pagesizes > MAX_ORDER) will have to be handled by a separate large page pool facility discussed in the earlier message. -
