Hello Minchan,
Nice work. It seems I forgot to reply your mail in the first RFC version
of the patch, so I just review this new one.
On 04/07/2014 10:51 AM, Minchan Kim wrote:

Just from this, I cannot see how you handle the 'lazyfree' pages and
how to distinguish 'lazyfree' and 'nonlazyfree' pages. Anyway, I've
known these from the patch itself, so I know them, but it is difficult
for someone who wants to get the knowledge from the log. So could you
add a little explanation into this log to help understanding the code,
especially you have put all the changes into one patch?
