The patch titled nommu: yield CPU while disposing VM has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was nommu-yield-cpu-while-disposing-vm.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: nommu: yield CPU while disposing VM From: "Steven J. Magnani" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Depending on processor speed, page size, and the amount of memory a process is allowed to amass, cleanup of a large VM may freeze the system for many seconds. This can result in a watchdog timeout. Make sure other tasks receive some service when cleaning up large VMs. Signed-off-by: Steven J.
