From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 22:09:57 -0300 (BRST) From: Rik van Riel Subject: [PATCH *] new VM patch for 2.4.0-test8 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.redhat.com List-ID: 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 -- "What you're running that piece of shit Gnome?!?!" -- Miguel de Icaza, UKUUG 2000 http://www.conectiva.com/ http://www.surriel.com/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
