Tweedie" , linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu List-ID: Hi after some more testing we found that: 1- the patch works also with mem=32MB (i.e. it is a winner also for low mem machines) 2- Interactive performance looks great, I can run an mmap002 with size 96MB in an 32MB machine and use an ssh session in the same machine to do ls/vi/... without dropouts, no way I can do that with previous pre-* 3- The system looks really stable now, no more processes killed for OOM error, and we don't see any more fails in do_try_to_free_page. Later, Juan. PD. I will comment the patch tomorrow, I have no more time today, sorry about that. -- In theory, practice and theory are the same, but in practice they are different -- Larry McVoy -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
