Sound good, Andrew? NACK. This patchset is not ready for any inclusion and nothing like that should go into 2.6.22. We first need to assess the breakage that results if GFP_THISNODE now returns NULL for memoryless nodes. So far GFP_THISNODE returns memory on the nearest node and that seems to make lots of things keep working. Plus the implementation of GFP_THISNODE that we have so far is a bit complex. It would be good if that could be simpler. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
