Re: [PATCH] (1/2) reverse mapping VM for 2.5.23 (rmap-13b)

I am encouraged by Craig's test results, which show that
rmap did a LOT less swapin IO and rmap with page aging even
less. The fact that it did too much swapout IO means one
part of the system needs tuning but doesn't say much about
the thing as a whole.

btw., isnt there a fair chance that by 'fixing' the aging+rmap code to
swap out less, you'll ultimately swap in more? [because the extra swappout
likely ended up freeing up RAM as well, which in turn decreases the amount
of trashing.]
