One small warning though. Please don't apply that patch yet because I fixed 3 more small problems today. I'll send you an updated patch...
- the compile warnings are fixed - in try_to_free_pages(), we forgot to set PF_MEMALLOC in current->flags (oops) - in grow_buffers(), in case we cannot get a buffer head, we must unlock the page
A patch against 2.4.0-test9-pre8 with these 3 changes will be on its way once I've tested it a bit...
regards,
