Hi , i done one function for demand page.
This do almost the same thing of the others functions , the diffence is in
when do the page allocations.
This still need some tests , but iīd like to know your opinions.

struct page *f_a_page(unsigned int gfp_mask,zone_t *zone,pte_t pte)
{
struct page *page;
struct page *new;
char *kaddr;
int i,j;

/* Teste if there are many pages to alloc and try to alloc just one page*/

reload: if((zone->free_pages >= zone->pages_min)) {
page = alloc_page(gfp_mask,0);
if(!page)
return NOPAGE_OOM;
/*Map alloced page*/

kaddr = (char *)kmap(page);
if(!kaddr)
return;

return page;
}
/*If there arenīt no much pages , try to free some pages*/

else {
i = 0;
do {
i++;
j = 2*2*i;
}while((j > zone->pages_min));

new = pte_page(pte);
if(new) {
if(new->count !=0)
spin_lock(&zone->lock);
__free_pages(new,i);
spin_unlock(&zone->lock);
goto reload;
}
}

thanks
