Hi,
Here is -pre5.
This version fixes the "memory filled with unfreeable inodes" problem which occurs on high memory machines in some workloads. That is the last big problem 2.4 VM had with highmem I believe.
It contains a few other important fixes: - fixes a SMP deadlock introduced during 2.4.23 (which could hang the machine on high filesystem activity). - fixes a memory allocation deadlock in USB
Amongst others.
Please test it!
Detailed changelog follows
