I think I suggested that you forward _one_ ;) In any case, the question of the day is, does anyone have any suggestions on how to create 2 separate pools for pages: one representing hot-removable pages, and the other pages that may not be removed? Yasunori's patch takes the approach of creating a new free_area struct inside each zone. Another approach might be to actually create new 'struct zones' for the new areas. The new zones one seems cleaner to me, but the implementation might end up rippling in to a lot of different areas of code. -- Dave -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
