I agree that kernel objects cann't be reclaimed easily. But what you are proposing is also not right. Returning failure w/o doing any reclaim on pages (that are reclaimable) is not useful. And this is why I asked, is this change going to be part of next set of patches (as current set of patches are only tracking kernel usage). -rohit - 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/ | ||||||||||||
