#23 Add tmpfs storage to used memory count component1 defect normal 04/23/07

Hi, I wrote a gentoo ebuild[1] for this daemon, and while testing it I noticed that swapspace ignores memory allocated by tmpfs. On my machines /tmp and /var/tmp are in tmpfs, and if they grow too large swapspace does nothing and the whole system goes OOM.

See /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.txt if you are unfamiliar with tmpfs, it is a real timesaver for old PC hardware with slow discs.

#7 Resize swap files on-the-fly component1 defect normal 07/31/05

Why can GNU/Linux resize several types of filesystem but not a swap filesystem?

Looking at mm/swapfile.` in the 2.6.10 kernel source, it's hard to escape the impression that this was supposed to be supported all along. In-core swapfile metadata is always allocated to support the maximum swapfile size as far as I can see, and the way extents of swap space are added into this structure already looks as if the file is being expanded from a working state.
