I assume that you mean that you are running win4lin successfully with this
kernel? (with necessary patches of course) If you are, please send me the
file mm/vmscan.c (for reasons I will explain below) from your source tree to
see what is going on.
Yeah, I did look through the mandrake cvs after I posted and saw that they've
been using it since then. However looking at vm_24 it looks like the
collision occurs with the win4lin patch as well.
The problem occurs in the swap_out function in the file mm/vmscan.c, in the
vanilla kernel the arguments to swap_out are:
unsigned int priority, unsigned int gfp_mask, zone_t * classzone
however, in the aa vm_* kernel patches he made the arguments to swap_out:
zone_t * classzone
The win4lin patch uses the priority and gfp_mask variables like so:
CALL_MKI_HOOK(MKI_HOOK_SWAP, (void *)priority, (void *)gfp_mask);
as far as I can see, any kernel with the aa VM will fail to accept any
win4lin patches.
This might be on the edge of the scope of this list, but hopefully the
maintainer of the kernel rpm is listening.
Thanks.
