Hello,
I tried to understand how Linux manages the pages in the cache. It seems to me it's very similar to CLOCK-PRO, but I don't think Linux uses non-resident pages. Am I right? Can anyone confirm it?
It seems that you're right...at least this page agrees with you: http://linux-mm.org/ClockProApproximation IIRC, Peter Ziljstra from Redhat is the one that did the adaptation of clock pro..... try to confirm to him for further info.... -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
