So would it be possible to me to disable it for just a particular user space process?

It's the core of the whole VM/memory management subsystem. It's not something you can just disable.

It would be better if you explained what exactly you were trying to accomplish..

I'm looking for a way to disable the page cache for an

experimental NUMA system running the 2.6.17 kernel. I would prefer to

only disable the page cache for my process and still have it be enabled

by the rest of the system. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Alternatively, I would be fine disabling the Page Cache altogether as well.



All user memory is in the page cache. Without it you could only run kernel

modules.
