--- Comment #8 from Mel Gorman
Mel, I am not sure if I am correctly understanding your comment #6. Can you tell me whether this problem:
once this is done the machine is in danger of deadlock as NFS requests still have to be allocated from the nfs_page slab cache
is resolved by this measure:
The patch also creates the necessary reserve.
Yes it is. The routing cache reserve did not need to be so big but because it existed, there were sufficient reserves for nfs_page and deadlock was avoided. Essentially this patchset replaces one reserve (routing cache) with a smaller reserve (nfs_page). I hope this clarifies the situation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
