The patch titled lumpy take the other active inactive pages in the area has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lumpy-take-the-other-active-inactive-pages-in-the-area.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: lumpy take the other active inactive pages in the area From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxx> When we scan an order N aligned area around our tag page take any other pages with a matching active state to that of the tag page. This will tend to demote areas of the order we are interested from the active list to the inactive list and from the end of the inactive list, increasing the chances of such areas coming free together.
