The changes that we are considering for 2.6.24 will result in a single zonelist per zone that will filter the zoneslist in alloc_pages. This lead to a performance improvement in the page allocator. What you call a hack is doing the same for the special policy zonelist in 2.6.23 in order to be able to apply policies to the two highest zones. We apply a limited portion of the changes for 2.6.24 to .23 to fix the ZONE_MOVABLE issue. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
