Subject: kswapd and MM overload fix
Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2001 00:44:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010606004450.C27651@athlon.random> (raw)

Anybody running on a machine with some zone empty (<16Mbyte boxes (PDAs),
<1G x86 with highmem enabled kernel or an arch with an iommu like alpha)
probably noticed that the MM was unusable on those hardware
configurations (as I also incidentally mentioned a few times on l-k in
the last months).

Yesterday I checked and here it is the fix (included in 2.4.5aa3).
