Well, it just made it to 24 hours, 
it did before.  I'm going to wait a couple more days before declaring
victory, but it looks good so far.

Superb. The relevant patches *should* be in flight for 3.7 assuming they
make it through the confusion of last-minute fixes.

Almost three days, when it wouldn't live overnight before.
As promised, I'm declaring victory.

The patch that worked (on top of -rc7) was Johannes Weiner's
"mm: vmscan: fix endless loop in kswapd balancing"
that added the zone_balanced() function to mm/vmscan.c:2400.

Thanks for testing!

Love,
Georgina
