Date: Sun, 1 Aug 2021 19:59:01 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E4C725B9-5B49-4703-8290-6A7183589F58@tarantool.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210801103633.GX27855@tarantool.org>

Hi! Thanks for the patch!

Now direct_resize() will fail if it doesn't fit into the current place
with a new size and a direct_alloc() supposedly will be called. This one 
doesn't help with 47-bit address AFAIU since it has no extra option -
I doubt it exist at all - to ask kernel to fit.
 
So, how it helps?


Regards,
Sergos
