Subject: Hot/cold allocation -- swsusp can not handle hot pages
Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2002 19:19:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021102181900.GA140@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)
Hi!
Swsusp counts free pages, and relies on fact that when it allocates
page there's one free page less. That is no longer true with hot
pages.
I attempted to work it around but it seems I am getting hot pages even
when I ask for cold one. This seems to fix it. Does it looks like
"possibly mergable" patch?
Pavel
