Subject: [PATCH] mm/page-writeback - highmem_is_dirtyable option (replacesdirty_highmem patch)
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:22:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200711282222.30004.casus@casus.us> (raw)

> Well, it was quick enough to just do - here's the patch. I've
> also updated the documentation a bit to clarify the intention and
>  the reasons why you might want to use it (based in part on the

>  packages from a clean unpack of kernel major plus patch minor plus
