Hi - can someone confirm or deny that these are bugs?
I compiled pre1 for a 256Mb machine with them both "fixed", and it
worked fine.

        Based on my quick reading of this patch:
+
+empty:
+ spin_lock(&mmlist_lock);
+ return 0;

The above should actually be spin_UNlock?

Also the test for !inactive_shortage() seems to be inverted?

+ /* If refill_inactive_scan failed, try to page stuff
out.. */
+ swap_out(priority, gfp_mask);
+ } while (!inactive_shortage());
