printk("try_to_unuse: entry %08lx " "not in use\n", entry);
I believe I had the above section of code from swapfile.c (lines 338 and 339) show up on shutting down 2.1.115 the other day. I have never had it show up before. I am pretty sure that was it. It was after syslog had shut down (RedHat standard init pretty much) and I believe after disks were unmounted. The error looked very much like that if not that (didn't right it down, was in a hurry).
I am not sure if this will all help but anyway here goes circumstances. My machine had been up for most of the day. Usage was very high (loadavg of about 7 to 10), memory was tight as well. Easily 40 meg into swap some of the time with 72 meg of real RAM. Standard RedHat 5.1 with most updates and a few custom changes to inittab and other system configs to make it more stable, secure, and work with multiple 2.1.x kernels easily.
If I see the message again I will make sure to give a better report.
Anyway, 2.1.115 seems awesome most of the time on this Pentium 133 (with the above config), but sometimes it seems to get rather slow... rather meaning, I notice a slow down from 2.1.106 and it irritates me. I am not sure most would notice it, but they may. I will try to figure out exactly how and where it is slower and post what I find. It may not help much since I am no kernel guru, especially with the code freeze and all.
