Will there be pagemap support tools and libraries available in future versions of Red Hat Enteprise Linux?
Issue
- Customers require a set of userspace libraries and / or tools that will allow them to leverage the pagemap interface in the RedHat Enterprise Linux 6 kernel.
- Information about pagemap in the kernel docs: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt
- Example utilities: http://selenic.com/repo/pagemap/
- A couple of use cases:
- Customer is seeking a better delineation of how much memory processes are actually using.
- pagemap bits appear to be in the kernel, but there are no supporting tools or libraries that help take advantage of it.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
