a name for mmscan

a name for mmscan

[Rik van Riel]

Hi,

As Ben didn't yet have a suitable name for mmscan, I
think we should go with the semi-standard of:
vmpager (or kpager, to follow the linux way)

This way, we can make a vmswapper (or kswapd) when
the swapping daemon is ready... ('cause we'll need
real swapping anyways).

vmpager seems to be somewhat of a standard in the
BSD world... (what's the Digital Unix one called?)

Rik.

kpager would be my vote :-)

I like that 'd' at the end of the daemon processes:

(kflushd)
       ^
(kswapd)
      ^

Then again, kpaged sounds slightly odd...

Any other ideas?
