| |
I'm working on porting linux to a device with no secondary storage, i.e. I have only ram. The kernel is running, but is very unstable. I believe this to be because of swapping issues; the errors are get look like the following:
# ls /sbin put_dirty_page: page already exists swap_duplicate: entry fffbea00, nonexistent swap file swap_free: Trying to free nonexistent swap-page
Out of memory for ls. Killed #
One of the solutions I've been considering is to rewrite bdflush and/or kswapd so that they don't try to do any swapping out of dirty pages. But before I do, I wanted to see if anybody has done this before and could point me in the right direction. So if anybody has, I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thanks, Todd
