So I diffed a fixed arca-vm-25 that rocks here. It's against pre-8.gz in testing. This new one should be really safe (and pre8 is also fixing also the swapout deadlock making the semaphores recursive). Give me comments if you'll try it. arca-vm-24/25 still seems far better than anything tried before here. I don't think I could do something better than it for 2.2. ftp://e-mind.com/pub/linux/kernel-patches/2.2.0-pre8testing-arca-VM-25.gz Andrea Arcangeli -- This is a majordomo managed list.
