[PATCH] zoned vm counters: zone_reclaim: remove /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval
The zone_reclaim_interval was necessary because we were not able to determine
how many unmapped pages exist in a zone. Therefore we had to scan in
intervals to figure out if any pages were unmapped.
With the zoned counters and NR_ANON_PAGES we now know the number of pagecache
pages and the number of mapped pages in a zone. So we can simply skip the
reclaim if there is an insufficient number of unmapped pages. We use
SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX as the boundary.
Drop all support for /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval.
