These patches provide robust swap over NFS and iSCSI, and in lesser form also over NBD (NBD cannot reconnect on network failure). The following test scenario was used (for NFS and iSCSI): - client A mounts swap device on server B - client A starts heavy swapper - server B stops service - server B floods server A - server A is wedged; soft lockup detection messages are given sysrq-m shows free < min - server B resumes service - client A is seen to recover. The iSCSI work depends on their upstream (svn) development work and requires some additional user-space patches. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
