Staying close to mainline and VM issues

[Yusuf Goolamabbas]

Hi, Marcelo has been incorporating a lot of Andrea's VM patches into
mainline. Given that RH has stated that it would like to stay close to
mainline. What does this bode for the rmap patches ? 

I see a number of bugzilla reports with the summary marked as (VM) and
quite a few reports which state that RH 2.4.20-xx kernel's seem to swap
more than RH 2.4.18-xx kernels. Would like to have Cambridge with a
kick-ass VM

I am going to try Phil K's test script in bug number 104562 and see how
it behaves with various kernels

Regards, Yusuf

Severn doesn't include rmap. It's VM is pretty close to mainline.
The VM patches that went into 2.4.23pre aren't yet included.
With us approaching a freeze for the next beta release, they were
deemed too risky at this time. It's possible they will get integrated
just after the release of beta2.

How's severn holding up with the recent updates for you ?
On my 256MB desktop, which gets a daily hammering with mem-gutsy tools
like bitkeeper, its been pretty decent recently.
