Hi!
/* * Try to free as much memory as possible, but do not OOM-kill anyone * * Notice: all userland should be stopped at this point, or livelock is possible. */
This worked before -rmap came in, but it does not free anything now. What needs to be done to fix it?
Pavel
static void free_some_memory(void) { printk("Freeing memory: "); while (try_to_free_pages(&contig_page_data.node_zones[ZONE_HIGHMEM], GFP_KSWAPD, 0)) printk("."); printk("|\n"); }
