A minimum enforced reclaimable non dirty threshold wouldn't be that ridiculous though. So the memory could be used, just not for dirty data. His patchkit essentially turns the GFP_ATOMIC requirements from free to easily reclaimable. I see that as an general improvement. I remember sct talked about this many years ago and it's still a good idea. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
