You are right. Page migration can invalidate subpage granularity even
for locked pages. Is it possible to use cpusets to keep a task and its
memory locked on a single node? Just wondering if there are limited
cases where subpage granularity could work without supporting subpage
granularity for tags in swap. It still sounds like the right thing to do
is to get a reliable implementation in place with page size granularity
and then add the complexity of subpage granularity.
Thanks,
Khalid
