I'm not sure remap_file_pages was ever intended to be more integrated. It pretty much always was a Oracle specific performance hack. The problem with making it more powerful is that it will become more invasive then (like your patchbomb shows) and that will make it a bigger maintenance issue longer term and complicate all of VM. And it's probably not worth doing all that. So in short I think it's better to keep it into its corner with minimum functionality and let it not expand to other parts. -Andi - 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/
