As written in other similar threads in the past in which you also participated, I still of the opinion that this is a vm issue and should be solved as such. As to the patch in question "fixing" it in the block layer, it's a fairly simple work around and I'm not totally against it. If you get rid of the ->bi_throttle stuff and just do sanity checks on the count, then we could look at getting some testing done. -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
