[PATCH 5/5] [RFC][HACK] Switch volatile/shmem over to LRU_VOLATILE

John Stultz
2012-07-28T03:59:14Z

This changes the earlier shrinker based volatile range
management over to using the LRU_VOLATILE list in mm core.

Again, this is likely has performance issues, as well as
other problems I'm not aware of, so I'd greatly appreciate
any additional feedback or suggestions.
