Hi Greg,

In short: this patch seems beneficial for users trying to avoid memory
swapping at all costs but they want to keep swap for emergency reasons.
More details: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/2/320
Its included in 3.5, so could this be considered for -longterm kernels ?
Andrew, Rik, does this seem appropriate for longterm?
Yes, absolutely. Default behaviour is not changed at all, and
the patch makes swappiness=0 do what people seem to expect it
to do.
