Does anybody know whether Linux has a similar mechanism (i.e. reserve a chunk of physical memory for a virtual memory region before the first access to this region)? If not, what are the pros and cons of these two strategies?
I am not aware of a Linux mechanism for reserving physical memory. But as Linux is used for real-time applications, I expect that there exists a mechanism.
I think mmap()+mlock() do exactly that.
