Some of the issues have been brought up before at LSF/MM but they never made that much traction so it's worth revisiting. I haven't been paying close attention to the mailing list discussions but I've been a little worried that the page allocator paths are turning into a bigger and bigger mess. I'm also a bit worried that options such as migrating pages out of CMA areas that are about to be pinned for having callback options to forcibly free pages never went anywhere. -- Mel Gorman SUSE Labs -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
