Ok, people seem to be reporting success. I've applied Johannes' last patch with the new tested-by tags. Johannes (or anybody else, for that matter), please holler LOUDLY if you disagreed.. (or if I used the wrong version of the patch, there's been several, afaik).
Johannes's patch is a fairly big hammer, with kswapd not looping back to the start when zones are still unbalanced. However, the next allocation will wake up kswapd again, and having kswapd stop early beats having it in an infinite loop. I believe Johannes's patch will be fine for 3.7. -- All rights reversed -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
