I would prefer to keep this public just because its sometimes a good idea to have a record of things like this. I feel this wont be the last time this rears its ugly head.

> you've demonstrated to the world in this thread you have no idea how virtual memory works

Funny, I kind of consider myself an expert in virtual memory and I previously made no mention of virtual memory in any of my comments. I do consider virtual memory an extremely important part in getting high levels of performance from a cache. Did you confuse sendfile() and copying data from block devices into userspace with virtual memory?

Why am I not surprised at this reply.




Nothing to do with sendfile, you claim that TLB management is "a hardware problem" which is completely wrong, whatever you think you know about virtual memory has no foundation and anyone with a basic understanding of computer architecture can tell you that.
