Subject: [PATCH 10/27] mm, vmscan: By default have direct reclaim only shrink once per node
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:04:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456239890-20737-11-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1456239890-20737-1-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net>
Direct reclaim iterates over all zones in the zonelist and shrinking them
but this is in conflict with node-based reclaim. In the default case,
only shrink once per node.
