Hi
New shared snapshots are here. It incorporates Mike's changes and it has
reworked memory limit:
- a minimum of 8 buffers is guaranteed to prevent thrasing with too big
chunk sizes
- the cache for multisnapshots is limited to 2% of memory or 25% of
vmalloc memory (whichever is lower) [ I'm thinking about making this
configurable in /proc ]
- big chunk sizes (8MB or more) allocate memory always from vmalloc, there
is no point in allocating from general allocator
