I've tested it against vanilla 2.4.5 and it resolves the freeze problem,
though:
I've opened x, gnome, mozilla, mozilla -mail, 3 gnome-terminals, pan,
xmms, some files and javac. Swap was totally filled up and it didn't
froze (good!). However suddently it came very busy (i thougth it was
going to freeze again), the music stopped, and came back to normal
again. It had killed xmms, I noticed after.
Is it intentional to kill processes? Well, it does reolve the problem,
but kills some processes, probably the most eager ones. I will keep
using this patch and report again if something relevant is found.
So far, so good, this is better tha having to swapoff & swapon all the
time. Nice work Marcelo.
