SubjectRe: [PATCH 0/7] [RFC] Sizing zones and holes in an architecture independent manner V2
From
On (13/04/06 00:20), Mel Gorman didst pronounce:

I didn't look at the test program output carefully enough! There was a
double counting of some holes because of a missing "if" - obvious in the
morning. Fix is this (applies on top of the debugging patch)
