Martin Hicks	0c35bbadc5	[PATCH] VM: add __GFP_NORECLAIM ... When using the early zone reclaim, it was noticed that allocating new pages that should be spread across the whole system caused eviction of local pages. This adds a new GFP flag to prevent early reclaim from happening during certain allocation attempts. The example that is implemented here is for page cache pages. We want page cache pages to be spread across the whole system, and we don't want page cache pages to evict other pages to get local memory.

Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!	20 years ago
