Subject: Re: [PATCH] per-zone^Wnode kswapd process
Date: Fri, 13 Sep 2002 16:29:25 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D8274D5.6000209@us.ibm.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 172 bytes --]

As promised, here is the latest and greatest (heh) topology API patch. 
Should apply cleanly on top of mm3.  As always, comment, criticize, and 
flame away!

Cheers

-Matt
