Subject: [PATCH *] new VM patch for 2.4.0-test8
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:09:57 -0300 (BRST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0009152158480.1065-100000@duckman.distro.conectiva> (raw)

Hi,

today I released a new VM patch with 4 small improvements:

- fixed proc_misc.c compile warnings (Albert Cranford)
- try_to_free_buffers() now actually /frees/ the buffers
  after doing synchronous IO on them ...
- move pages with page->count==2 to the inactive_dirty list
  in deactivate_page() ... this way we'll move a page to the
  inactive_dirty list even while we're holding an extra
  reference count on the page   (system runs smoother now)
- remove the ugly goto from refill_inactive_scan(), use a
  variable instead

This patch seems to make the system run a little bit smoother
under load. Please try it and tell me if/how it works for you.

regards,

Rik
