Blush. 2.1.116 also has a line like
current->flags &= PF_MEMALLOC;
that should _obviously_ read
current->flags &= ~PF_MEMALLOC;
and because it doesn't 2.1.116 has some really strange properties (but it
actually _does_ work really well for me even with the buggy line:
surprising how few problems I saw, an how I found it by actually
inspecting the sources rather than anything else).
I suspect 2.1.116 is stable, but due to the above thing it probably
doesn't page out things as well as it should (leaving too much to kswapd).
Although what do I know - it might actually do pretty well.
