As is, these patches allow for swapfiles to me used on NFS mounts. However some extra work is needed to make this safe. It is not very hard to deadlock a kernel with only these patches. In the next VM deadlock avoidance series I will include a patch to remedy this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
