Hi, 

I need people with access to highmem machines (8GB or more) to test a
patch which should fix the current allocation failure problems under IO
stress with 2.4.10pre1.

Just stress the IO subsystem with huge amounts of data ( > 2x amount of
memory). Several threads doing the IO is preferred.

Patch at
http://bazar.conectiva.com.br/~marcelo/patches/v2.4/2.4.10pre1/highio.patch

Thanks!
