Subject: [PATCH] vm_enough_memory too generous
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 19:28:54 +0100 (BST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0106151910430.2342-100000@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
When free_page_and_swap_cache() went on vacation in April, we had
to compensate in vm_enough_memory(): now it's back, that should go.
