Now, I am writing a driver, which need 200M contiguous physical memory? can do? how to do it?
The ftape utils have a tool called swapout which tries to 'free' large chunks of memory which then can be allocated by the ftape module loaded subsequently. I don't know if this approach does also work with *such* large chunks like yours.
Wasn't there a problem with a process having mlocked memory in the wrong place and the application hanging? Or the kernel hanging? Or something. Can't remember.
