Subject: is linux still a none swappable kernel?
Date: Sun, 13 May 2007 13:12:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <464746EC.10608@nrao.edu> (raw)

In some older posts I have read that memory allocations via kmalloc
and vmalloc are not swappable, that is, these memory chunks are not
paged out to swap area. Is this still the case with linux kernel 2.6?

thanks,
