I'd like to get included that patch to restore the buffer of memory
reserved for GFP_ATOMIC allocations (ie. the difference between GFP_KERNEL
and GFP_ATOMIC allocations).
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.10-rc1/2.6.10-rc1-mm5/broken-out/mm-restore-atomic-buffer.patch
It is not actually a regression versus 2.6.9 (it is vs 2.6.8), although I
think it is responsible for the increased reports of page allocation failures.
It would be nice to let it have more testing in -mm first, but OTOH if we
_really_ want it in 2.6.10 it would make sense to merge it ASAP so it can get
wider testing.
Any feelings on the matter yet, Andrew? Or were you thinking it would be OK for
post 2.6.10?
