BTW, yesterday my 2.4 patches were not published, but I noticed that

it was related, but right now I have a doubt. Maybe the automatic script

The script that deals with the uploads also deals with the packaging -
so yes the problem is related.

and with the finger_banner and version info on www.kernel.org page?

Yes, they're all connected.

The load on *both* machines were up above the 300s yesterday, probably due to the release of a new Knoppix DVD.

The most fundamental problem seems to be that I can't tell currnt Linux kernels that the dcache/icache is precious, and that it's way too eager to dump dcache and icache in favour of data blocks. If I could do that, this problem would be much, much smaller.

Have you messed around with /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure?

Unfortunately that affects all three of: dcache, icache, and mbcache. Maybe we could split that sysctl in two (Andrew?), so that one sysctl affects dcache/icache and another affects mbcache.
