Subject: [PATCH] Updated Commentry Patches v2
Date:	 Wed, 22 May 2002 04:17:12 +0100 (IST)

I've updated the five previous patches (previously against pre7) that try
to comment and document how the VM in 2.4.19pre8 works. I've posted them
before on the list so I'm just going to include URL's this time because
the changes are minor.

I've corrected a number of spelling mistakes, included some commentry from
William Lee Irwin and fixed comments so they should be picked up by
kernel-doc scripts

They are available as

2.4.19pre8_paging_commentry
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/patches/2.4.19pre8_paging_commentry
  Provides some documentation on the page replacement and paging mechanism
  in Documentation/vm. Expands on comments on vmscan.c and memory.c
  relating to page replacement

2.4.19pre8_documentation_numa
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/patches/2.4.19pre8_documentation_numa
  Extends the Documentation/vm/numa file to try and describe NUMA and
  related data structures a bit better

2.4.19pre8_page_alloc_commentry
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/patches/2.4.19pre8_page_alloc_commentry
  This extends the documentation on page_alloc.c to describe how the buddy
  allocator works

2.4.19pre8_slab_commentry
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/patches/2.4.19pre8_slab_commentry
  Extends the commentry on the slab allocator slightly

2.4.19pre8_vmalloc_commentry
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~mel/projects/vm/patches/2.4.19pre8_vmalloc_commentry
  Documents how vmalloc works

If there is no complaints, I'll see what I can do about getting them
integrated into the main 2.4 branch. I'm not sure how relevant they are to
2.5. Thanks to all those who provided feedback with them
