Only in 2.4.10pre10aa1: 80_vm-aa-1 VM rewrite, should fix: - kswapd looping forever on DMA or NORMAL classzones - swap+ram will be almost all available address space (modulo when the swap cache serves to avoid swapins of shares anonymous memory after a fork) - slowdowns after multiple runs of the workloads - swapout storms - dbench runs twice faster with this patch applied I've several ideas on how to change the vm algorithms to be even better, this first one may be a little too agrressive, however I tried a few of them and I did a check of the dbench numbers after that and they were always slower than the algorithm in the 80_vm-aa-1 patch. (OTOH I don't want a VM that works wonderfully on dbench but not with other normal workloads) This patch may still swap a little too much (but it shouldnt' generate the storms during heavy I/O), I need feedback from differnt workloads to be sure it's ok, at this point it is trival for me to change the behaviour radically after I get the feedback and numbers from users and developers. So please test it so I will know if I must change something. About stability it should be rock solid, but of course there's not a very good statistic yet (my most critical desktop is running 2.4.10pre10aa1 since last night under high load without problems yet). I probably have a bug in swapoff but let's ignore it for now, just try to run swapoff only before shutting down the machine. The fact is that the 2.4 VM is broken freeing physically dirty pages. The last owner of the page (usually the VM except in swapoff) has to clear the dirty flag before freeing the page, in swapoff it may be a little more complicate (we may need to grab the pagecache_lock to ensure nobody start using the page while we clear it). And swapoff is probably racy anyways as usual (swapoff in 2.2 is racy too). In short I didn't focused on swapoff yet, I just made an hack to make it to work while shutting down the machine so far. I know this patch could hurt some developer since I backed out lots of (broken) stuff that probably they liked, I'm sorry for that, but I will mainly listen to numbers, not to "voice/email" vapourware arguments (like the argument numa is broken, that's just a red herring, this patch flyes on the numa wildfire simulation with all the numa heuristics enabled as well as on uml with mem=4m, origin 2k or whatever x86/ia64 numa hardware will never ever have problems either with it and I will make sure it will work correctly). So in short I will love to be proved wrong on the _paper_ with real life issues. Only in 2.4.10pre10aa1: 00_alpha-compile-1 Fix a few alpha compile troubles.

I can put that counter back, but I think eventually it may anyway make sense to start using per-cpu statistics counters. As a matter of fact we are working on a framework to support these. If we do use per-cpu statistics counters later, RCU can make use of the per-cpu context switch statistics counter.
