        damn, i even sometimes should think before writing things
   like "swapoff of reiserfs"... ;(   automatism => errors

cheers,
 Sam

As expected, the current patch only modifies mechanisms and
leaves most policy the same. Under some loads there is a
difference, but under light VM loads the same-policy-more-info
replacement should indeed be pretty similar.

I'll try to reproduce that one when I get back home thursday.

This one is fixed. I'll be sitting inside a big tin can with
wings all day tomorrow, but thursday I'll try to post a new
version, hopefully with both these bugs fixed.

Thanks for testing the patch and pointing out the bugs!

Rik

             Ashes on my head guys...
    Gotta wrong results in my previous perftest... (slightly different 
  environments), so these are to be sure that on low VM load there isnt
  any significant difference...

  Here are new and revisited. Actually i maked sure that the environments
differs only in kernels...

  Bonus: two bugs! :)
   1. Quintela`s (shmtest of memtest) and pmap{2,3} == 100% instant deadlock
      plain ac12 demonstrates ignorance.
   2. Swapoff oops 100% - only in pmap3! (okay, swapoff of reiserfs 
      to be strict, but i think that doesnt actually matters)
      swapoff oops will be in next mail.
