Hello all,
I've just been playing with the mm code, and something I've
noticed is that swappable is currently held in the task structure, *not*
in mm_struct where it's desired effect can work properly with mm clone()'d
tasks: hence the unreliability of copy_mm. Anyone care to comment? I'll
throw together a patch tomorrow that moves swappable into mm_struct for
both 2.0.34pre2 and 2.1.87-1.
