This is the core of why we cannot (IMHO) have a discussion of whether a patch introducing new VM tunables can go in: there is no clear overview of exactly what would need to be tunable and how it would help. When you and Ingo have something more specific to talk about, I guess we can decide on that; but deciding on something like this isn't really possible without at least knowing what should be tunable ;) regards, Rik -- Virtual memory is like a game you can't win; However, without VM there's truly nothing to lose... http://www.surriel.com/ http://distro.conectiva.com/ Send all your spam to aardvark@nl.linux.org (spam digging piggy) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
