Hi! Holy crap, this is great! Are you able to look at what it'd take to bring this up on -HEAD? Have a chat with Alan about the VM changes; he should be able to help you figure out what's changed in -HEAD and what needs to be polished before this thing can be committed. How do you suggest this is tested/evaluated? Thanks! -adrian On 10 November 2014 08:15, Sebastian Kuzminsky <S.Kuzminsky@f5.com> wrote: > Hello hackers, I'm announcing the availability of a branch adding support= for 1 GB superpages to FreeBSD. > > https://github.com/Seb-LineRate/freebsd/commits/seb/stable-10/1-gig-pages > > The branch is based on work done by Line Rate Systems and F5 Networks, an= d used in our LROS load-balancing product. > > Our product is based on FreeBSD 9.1; the branch I linked to above is our = 1 gig page support rebased onto stable/10. I probably messed something up = in the rebase, as lots of things changed both in pmap and vm since 9.1.
