And should post again soon. Please see the patches: http://programming.kicks-ass.net/kernel-patches/vm_deadlock/current/ For now it requires one uses SLUB, I hope that SLAB will go away (will save me the trouble of adding support) and I guess I ought to do SLOB some time (if that does stay). You'd need the first 22 patches of that series, and then call sk_set_memalloc(sk) on the proper socket, and do some fiddling with the reconnect logic. See nfs-swapfile.patch for examples.
