the code seems good and very complete, it so complete that i would had split it into two patchs (the one for the spin_lock and the one for the down_read) but more important :) is that you actually helped another patch that i wrote that register kvm shadow pages with the kernel shrinker that i couldnt merge beacuse the shadow pages didnt had their private spin lock (this i hope will make all of kvm memory swappable) i will test it today with it when i get home... anyway good work ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
