http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2.4.20aa1/05_vm_16_active_free_zone_bhs-1 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/kernels/v2.4/2.4.20aa1/10_inode-highmem-2
The former is the most important and, alas, has dependencies on earlier patches.
hm, OK. I've pulled all Andrea's VM changes and the inode-highmem fix into a standalone diff. I'll beat on that a bit tonight before unleashing it.

These numbers are a little odd. You seem to have only lost 200M of lowmem to buffer_heads. Bill, what's your take on this?
Maybe we're looking at the wrong thing. Are any of your applications using mlock(), mlockall(), etc? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
