Subject: rw_swap_page() and swapin readahead
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 1998 23:02:30 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96.981125225829.15920C-100000@mirkwood.dummy.home> (raw)

Hi Stephen,

it appears that rw_swap_page() needs a small change to be
able to do asynchonous swapin.

On line 128:
		if (!wait) {
			set_bit(PG_free_after, &page->flags);
			...
		}
			
We probably want to loose the line with PG_free_after, even
on normal swapout (or is it already gone in 2.1.130-pre3?).

If I misunderstood the code, I'll happily learn a bit :)

cheers,

Rik -- slowly getting used to dvorak kbd layout...
