Hello there,
After 2½ year I stumbled over this thread:

2.5 propses including the ability to set the %age between the 0% of

different ways according to precise understanding of workload.
Alan, hch or someone asked if it would be possible to merge the 2.5
behavior into 2.4-ac ... are you interested or do you not want to
break compatibility?
Note for "mode 2" the behavior is identical. For "mode 3" they would
also need to set vm_memory_ratio to "0".
If you are willing, I'll send you a diff...

As I can see, the patch never made it in 2.4.x, right?!
So, I would like a diff - if still possible :-)
I know it's been a while, but I'm stuck with a 2.4 kernel for my
embedded device and have problems with the OOM...
Best regards,
Martin Egholm
