Hi Stephen,
now that I think of multiple lists, it might be nice to
have a 2-level LRU scheme for each type of allocation:
- user pages
- shared stuff
- buffers
- page cache
Then we do a sort of round-robin allocation and memory
pressure will make sure that the amount of memory is
automatically balanced between the different uses.
(just a stupid idea)
Rik.
