This is an update for the 2.5 port of Ed Tomlinson's patch to move slab pages onto the lru for page aging, atop 2.5.27 and the full rmap patch. It is aimed at being a fairer, self-tuning way to target and evict slab pages. Previous description: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2002-07/msg00216.html Patch URL: http://loke.as.arizona.edu/~ckulesa/kernel/rmap-vm/2.5.27/
While trying to boot 2.5.27-rmap-slablru, I got this early in the boot: Kernel panic: Failed to create pte-chain mempool! In idle task - not syncing No other information was available. I had previously booted and run 2.5.27 and 2.5.27-rmap. I had to unset CONFIG_QUOTA to get 2.5.27-rmap-slablru to compile. I first applied the 2.5.27-rmap-1-rmap13b patch for 2.5.27-rmap, and then applied the 2.5.27-rmap-2-slablru patch for 2.5.27-rmap-slablru. The test machine is a dual p3 valinux 2231. Some options from .config: [steven@spc9 linux-2.5.27-ck]$ grep HIGH .config # CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G=y # CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G is not set # CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y Steven -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
