;) Are you sure you had 500m free even before the _first_ oom killing? I assumed what you posted was not the first one of the oom killing messages. If it was the first then there was a regression. But if OTOH I didn't misunderstood your message and it wasn't the first, then what you've seen is just the brokeness of 2.6 w.r.t. oom killing, that's what made Thomas drive a few hours too, and you've only to apply the 5 patches I just posted, and everything will work perfectly correct then in terms of _not_ killing right and left anymore, even despite the 500m free ;). I tested the code before posting and my regression test passed at least, so it looked like there was no other regression. The several rejects I've got while porting the code looked all due noop-cleanups. So I doubt there was a regression and I'm optimistic you've just seen the old bugs. - 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/
