Our tests show that this does indeed address the issue. There may still be some off node allocation while kswapd is starting up which causes some objections but avoiding these would mean significant modifications to __alloc_pages. This is a fix until a better solution can be found which I would estimate to be 3-6 months down the road given the difficulties getting vm changes into the kernel. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
