I have implemented a memory defragmentation utility
for linux kernel 2.6 based on the paper by Mr. Daniel
Phillips.
Can this utility be used instead of the bigphysarea
patch, for requirements less than MAX_ORDER of
allocation ?
Can the people using the bigphysarea patch kindly
provide me with their respective memory requirements.
Alok.

That's very interesting, but:
1) what is your name, "Alok Mooley" or "Vijay Agashe" ? ;)
2) could we please see your code, so we can try to answer
your questions ?

This question is really hard to answer without seeing the
code.
kind regards,
Rik van Riel

We both are part of a project group of 4 students. We
both had posted separate mails because one was
rejected due to the mail being in html (or so the
person at linux-kernel said).

Have you incorporated any of the suggestions from the last time that you
posted the patch? Could you post the current version?
