Hi, I just tested 2.6.7 and it works comparably to 2.4.28. swpd value reported by vmstat is actually 1172736, actually inspecting the previous results from 2.4.28 show also this number. But "swapon -s" reports 1172732. I'm puzzled. vmstat comes from gentoo procps-3.2.3-r1.
Anyway, plain 2.6.7 kills only the application asking for so much memory and logs via syslog: Out of Memory: Killed process 58888 (RNAsubopt)
It's a lot better compared to what we have in 2.6.10-rc2, from my user's view.
I cannot easily reverse the tbtc patch from 2.6.10-rc2 tree, but applying the tbtc patch over 2.6.7 gives me same behaviour as on plain 2.6.7 - so only the RNAsubopt application get's killed.
The problem must have been introduced between 2.6.7 and 2.6.10-rc2 but is not directly related to tbtc patch in it's original form: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109122597407401&w=2
