Hmmm, before I make any silly mumblings, would you mind [re]sending a copy of your patch to linux-mm? (I've misplaced the copy I had, and linuxhq's kernel archive isn't searchable right now.) Linus probably won't want to integrate them for 2.2, but perhaps we can start maintaining a set of patches reasonably 'in sync' until 2.3 when they could be integrated. Hopefully that way they we can get people to provide a reasonable amount of testing to the code. Which reminds me: Stephen, what's the state of your irq and smp patches for page cache addition/removal. I'm getting a bit more free time now, so perhaps I can play with them a bit (maybe we should have a common cvs tree...). -ben
