Both worked just fine so the combination of vmpatch and sard patch seemed to trigger the problems. http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/amlaukka/streamfs/hdrbench30x10-vmpatch2.png It seems the drop-behind stuff is still not very tuned. Compare with hdrbench30x10.png and you'll see the difference. Infact hdrbench aborted the test because of buffer overflows. -- D. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
