That, said, looking at the memory values:
rc6: Free+Buffers+A/I(Anon)+A/I(File)+Slab = 6769MB
rc7: ... = 4714MB
That's 2GB unaccounted for.
So one brute-force way to see who allocated those 2GB is to use the
page_owner debug feature. You need to enable CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER and then
follow the Usage part of Documentation/vm/page_owner.txt
If you can do that, please send the sorted_page_owner.txt for rc7 when
it's semi-nearing the exhausted swap. Then you could start doing a
comparison run with rc6, but maybe it will be easy to figure from the
rc7 log already. Thanks.
Documentation/vm/page_owner.txt does not mention the need to do:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
Having done that when about 1.5 GiB swap was in use, the output of
sorted_page_owner.txt with the rc7+ kernel starts with:
