Just getting the I/O less balance_dirty_pages on it's own would be a really good start, as that's one of the really criticial pieces of infrastructure that a lot of people are waiting for. Getting it into linux-mm/linux-next ASAP so that it gets a lot of testing would be highly useful. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
