From c84db23c6e587d3ab00a41c51fedf758e1f6ecd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 03:05:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] zone_reclaim: minor fixes - If we only reclaim nr_pages then its okay to stay on node. Switch from > to >= for the comparison. - vm_table[] entry for zone_reclaim_mode is a bit screwed up. - Add empty lines around shrink_zone to show that this is the central function to be called.

Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off node allocation chunks to relieve the local node. It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations. For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations. This patch allows just that....
