Pekka,

I have been running the patch for ~24 hours with slub_debug=0 as a
boot option. So far, no problems. My workload has not involved as many
network operations as some times, but my memory has not fragmented.
The output of 'cat /proc/buddyinfo' is as follows:

Node 0, zone DMA 8 5 5 4 5 5 5
4 3 0 1
Node 0, zone DMA32 1804 1585 3007 36 0 0 0
0 1 0 0

As might be expected, the high-order fragments are gone, but the O(1)
pieces have not been depleted.

Larry
