Subject: memcgroup: reinstate swapoff mod
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~466
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=044d66c1d2b1c5aa50b4d6d68c21c6c93dd678da;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

memcgroup: reinstate swapoff mod

This patch reinstates the "swapoff: scan ptes preemptibly" mod we started
with: in due course it should be rendered down into the earlier patches,
leaving us with a more straightforward mem_cgroup_charge mod to unuse_pte,
allocating with GFP_KERNEL while holding no spinlock and no atomic kmap.
