What are the suggested values to put into /proc/sys/vm/swap_token_timeout ? The docs are not at all clear about this (proc/filesystems.txt).Beats me ;) I tried a number of values in the original implementation, and 300 seconds turned out to work fine...
Never mind my previous mail - after looking at kernel/sysctl.c it turns out that the sysctl code compensates for the jiffies vs. seconds difference. Just the default in mm/thrash.c should be changed from "300" to "(300 * HZ)"... -- The Theory of Escalating Commitment: "The cost of continuing mistakes is borne by others, while the cost of admitting mistakes is borne by yourself." -- Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
