Hi Alan,

As I can see, the patch never made it in 2.4.x, right?!
So, I would like a diff - if still possible :-)
I submitted it ages ago but it was rejected and punted to 2.6. The 2.4
support is available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, so you can pull it
out of the source rpms on the ftp site or out of Centos etc
Bingo. I seem to have found what looks like it in:
linux-2.4.21-selected-ac-bits.patch
linux-2.4.21-tunable-overcommit.patch

But many of the other patches messes with mmap.c, as well :-), so I guess there is some tracking assignment ahead...

But nevertheless, thanks for pointing me to the source...

BR,
Martin Egholm
