Subject: [PATCH 16/27] mm, page_alloc: Consider dirtyable memory in terms of nodes
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:17:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160223151755.GB2854@techsingularity.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1456239890-20737-1-git-send-email-mgorman@techsingularity.net>
Historically dirty pages were spread among zones but now that LRUs are
per-node it is more appropriate to consider dirty pages in a node.
