Subject: vm: ignore RS pin (pre-allocate) requests for now
X-Git-Tag: v3.2.1~401
X-Git-Url: http://zhaoyanbai.com/repos/%22http:/www.isc.org/icons/zpipe.c?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b3f47f5835c2689fede93eb18ca365cc0783140a;p=minix.git

vm: ignore RS pin (pre-allocate) requests for now

	. done by RS to reduce/remove dependency on VM for recovery
	. RS has the default stack size of 64MB since the nosegments
	  change, using a huge amount of unused memory to pre-allocate
	. ignore these requests until actually required (i.e. being able
	  to survive VM crashes)

Thanks to pikpik for investigating why RS was so huge.
