stop=3, so we did not want to wait. we probably called in this order: - swap_out(6, dma, 0) - shrink_mmap(5, dma) - shm_swap(4, dma) - swap_out(3, dma, 0) seems the way kswapd does background pageout. Nothing bad, except the message that should only be printed if wait!=0, in my opinion (and perhaps something else). I will download 2.0.31 and look into this #@!$% change.
