Search the last few days for a post beginning "[TAKE3] [PATCH]"...

Note there is a bug in the accounting which appears to be able to cause the
count of reserved memory to go negative under some circumstances.  I
triggered it by starting 4 copies of the Blackdown Java 1.2.2 VM, then
closing them.  With the patch enabled, two extra fields appear in
/proc/meminfo for monitoring.

Note also that I'm not sbscribed on the linux-mm list (perhaps I should
be), so please CC me.
