Okay this really seems like a couple of things need to happen, first change swap dependency on PAGE_SIZE, then move the __KERNEL__ define above the PAGE_SIZE and friends defines in the appropriate asm-*/page.h files. Do these tasks need to happen in this order? I haven't really looked at the swap code at all... Also, I'd be willing to help I've done kernel coding for experimental projects and such but nothing for kernel.org so I might need some shepherding. - David Brown - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
