well, I need to study the page migration patch more (this is the
first time I've heard of it). But it sounds as if my patch and the
page migration patch are complementary.

Did you get the url from the last email?

http://sr71.net/patches/2.6.10/2.6.10-mm1-mhp-test7/page_migration/

yes, I'll start looking it over.

Oh yeah, I have access to a >>few<< Altix systems.  :-)

I'd be happy to test your patches on Altix.

cool.

  I have another project sitting
on the back burner to get page cache allocated (by default) in 
round-robin
memory for Altix; I need to see how to integrate this with your work 
(which
is how this was all left a few months back when I got pulled off to 
work on
the latest release for Altix.)  So that is another area for 
collaboration.

you mean like a global mempolicy for the page cache? This shouldn't
be difficult to integrate with my patch, ie. when allocating a page
for the cache, first check if the mapping object has a policy (my patch),
if not, then check if there is a global pagecache policy (your patch).

Is the latest version of your patch the one from lkml dated 11/02/2004?

probably not the latest version. I've attached the latest.
