Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 18:58:18 -0800	[thread overview]

Kurosawa,

I like the idea of multiple controllers for a resource. Users will have
options to choose from. Thanks for doing it.

I have few questions:
 - how are shared pages handled ?
 - what is the plan to support "limit" ?
 - can you provide more information in stats ?
 - is it designed to work with cpumeter alone (i.e without ckrm) ?

comment/suggestion:
 - IMO, moving pages from a class at time of reclassification would be
   the right thing to do. May be we have to add a pointer to Chris patch
   and make sure it works as we expect.
 - instead of adding the pseudo zone related code to the core memory
   files, you can put them in a separate file.
 - Documentation on how to configure and use it would be good.
  
regards,

chandra
