The real reason I don't like it is that right now I want something that works, and that everybody agrees on is the _minimal_ patch possible. I want something simple that is obviously correct (and right now I don't even care whether swapoff() works or not, actually).
We can tweak later, I'd really like to have a patch that everybody can live with for now, and then we can see what the problems are. I'd prefer not to have extra code until it's shown to be necessary, and I also want to have the basics tested well before we start to be clever.
I liked your previous patch, and it seems Stephen agreed with it too once it had some things changed - if only because then it was very close to what he had done. The new patch looks to have fixed Stephens worries, and I'd like to see it without the extra swap_free() code - just to test it out.
Stephen, do you basically agree with Andreas patch, or is there something you want done?
