I already adjusted it. :-)
But, In my desktop, I couldn't make to consune my swap device above
half. (My swap device is 512M size)
Because my kernel almost was hang before happening many swapping.
Perhaps, it might be a not hang. However, Although I wait a very long

I will try do it more.

Actually, Many VM guys is working on server environment.
They didn't try to do performance test in embedde system.
and that patch was submitted in mainline.

Actually, I am concern about it.

Could you send me that debug code ?

And I will report test result.
