Note that if swap_out swaps something out, it will always return 1 (it has to, as it sleeps), and that in turn will make us decrement our counter, which will make us stop paging things out soon enough.. So I really don't think it's a scaling issue either. Linus -- This is a majordomo managed list. To unsubscribe, send a message with the body 'unsubscribe linux-mm me@address' to: majordomo@kvack.org
