no, sorry, it'll still happen. I haven't fixed the ramdisk driver yet.
The problem is that ->memory_backed means both "doesn't contribute to dirty memory" and also "doesn't need writeback".
These concepts need to be split apart for the ramdisk driver. I'll do it for 2.6.7, promise. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
