Hi,
here is version #6 of the new VM patch, against 2.4.0-test4.
Thanks to watashi on #kernelnewbies, the memory leak has been
removed from the code and this patch _actually works_...
The patch implements:
- minimal multi-queue VM (separate aging and flushing)
- page aging
- smart flushing of dirty inactive pages (only flush if
needed, only flush synchronously if _really_ needed)
- write throttling for all page faults
- replaces shrink_mmap with 3 easier to understand functions ;)
- dynamic inactive_target
TODO:
- fix kswapd cpu usage (possible without reverse mapping?)
- fix the oops at swap.c:232 (triggered from filemap.c ...)
- tune everything
This patch should be pretty usable and ready for general
testing. If you are able to break it, I'd like to hear so...
have fun!
cheers,
Rik
