This is an attempt at making a more robust and flexible VM subsystem, while cleaning up a lot of code at the time. The patch is available from: http://surriel.com/patches/2.4/2.4.16-rmap-6 and http://linuxvm.bkbits.net/ The big TODO items for the _next_ release are: - integrate some of wli's pigmem stuff - fix page_launder() so it doesn't submit the whole inactive_dirty list for writeout in one go Changelog: rmap 6: - make the active and inactive_dirty list per zone, this is finally possible because we can free pages based on their physical address (William Lee Irwin) - cleaned up William's code a bit (me) - turn some defines into inlines and move those to mm_inline.h (the includes are a mess ...) (me) - improve the VM balancing a bit (me) - add back inactive_target to /proc/meminfo (me) rmap 5: - fixed recursive buglet, introduced by directly editing the patch for making rmap 4 ;))) (me) rmap 4: - look at the referenced bits in page tables (me) rmap 3: - forgot one FASTCALL definition (me) rmap 2: - teach try_to_unmap_one() about mremap() (me) - don't assign swap space to pages with buffers (me) - make the rmap.c functions FASTCALL / inline (me) rmap 1: - fix the swap leak in rmap 0 (Dave McCracken) rmap 0: - port of reverse mapping VM to 2.4.16 (me) regards, Rik -- Shortwave goes a long way: irc.starchat.net #swl http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ - 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/
