did you compiled with highmem?
No,ok then with 512mbyte on an x86 my patch couldn't help. I thought it was it because the sympthom was the same (constant kswapd activity and constant swap grow) but it obviously is something else. Then try 2.4.6pre3aa1 (it is certainly stable).
You were right, with 2.4.6pre3aa1 it works in the expected way (at
least the way it was expected before :-). I'm now at home so if you need more info on it, I'll do my best.
