vmscan: synchronous lumpy reclaim don't call congestion_wait()
> If the system 512MB memory, DEF_PRIORITY mean 128kB scan and It takes 4096 shrink_page_list() calls to scan 128kB (i.e. 128kB/32=4096) memory. Err you must forgot the page size. 128kB means 128kB/4kB=32 pages which fit exactly into one SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX batch. The shrink_page_list() call times has nothing t... 5 Aug 2010 10:13

There is an at least theoretic race condition in which .start_iso etc. could still be called between when the dummy driver is bound to the card and when the children devices are being shut down. Add dummy_start_iso and friends. On the other hand, .enable, .set_config_rom, .read_csr, write_csr do not need to be ... 1 Aug 2010 07:16
