the rmap patch should indeed be the same in 7 and 9 however, since the rmap patch depends on some nptl patches I don't think it is actually applied for the RHL7 errata kernel ... To mee it looks like the wrong patch, the one from 9, was then applied to the 9 kernel. This is from the patch applied with the 9 kernel, which looks wrong to me: @@ -850,6 +875,7 @@ static int do_try_to_free_pages(unsigned ret += rebalance_inactive(gfp_mask, 100); ret += shrink_dcache_memory(DEF_PRIORITY, gfp_mask); ret += shrink_icache_memory(1, gfp_mask); + try_to_reclaim_buffers(DEF_PRIORITY, gfp_mask); // ret += shrink_other_caches( DEF_PRIORITY, gfp_mask); #ifdef CONFIG_QUOTA ret += shrink_dqcache_memory(DEF_PRIORITY, gfp_mask); the rhl9 code is correct. this is not a problem because the patch is only applied for RHL9 anyway. |
