According to sct (who's sitting next to me in my hotel room at ALS) Ben LaHaise has a bugfix for this, but it hasn't been merged. > * VM: Fix the highmem deadlock, where the swapper cannot create low > memory bounce buffers OR swap out low memory because it has > consumed all resources {CRITICAL} (old bug, already reported in > 2.4.0test6) Haven't been able to reproduce it on my 1GB test machine, but it might still be there. Can anyone confirm if this bug is still present ? Note: all of the issues on the TODO list with the "VM:" prefix are from a VM todo list you posted a week or two ago; so I'm assuming that you know more about those issues than I do..... (feel free to send me an updated list and I'll merge it into the 2.4 TODO list.) - Ted -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
