This first patch brings the 2.5 VM into approximate parity with 2.4-ac in terms of basic page replacement, page aging, and lru list logic. A description from the last posting: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2002-07/msg00215.html Changelog: - Sync'ed with the 2.5.27 rmap merge - Added Bill Irwin's recent patch that converts the pte_chain freelist to use mempool. Updated VM stats. A nice patch that seems to work well here, so far... :) Next release: - multi-page batch processing of the list-scanning methods in vmscan to reduce lock contention, ala Andrew Morton's recent patches - looking into 2.4-aa for useful tidbits - various rmap updates from the usual suspects... :) Get it here: http://loke.as.arizona.edu/~ckulesa/kernel/rmap-vm/2.5.27/ Try it, use it, send feedback. :) Craig Kulesa Steward Observatory Univ. of Arizona - 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/
