From 0abdee2bd4118366c62349a304f81537be69af33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:46:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: kswapd: use the order that kswapd was reclaiming at for sleeping_prematurely() Before kswapd goes to sleep, it uses sleeping_prematurely() to check if there was a race pushing a zone below its watermark. If the race happened, it stays awake. However, balance_pgdat() can decide to reclaim at order-0 if it decides that high-order reclaim is not working as expected. This information is not passed back to sleeping_prematurely(). The impact is that kswapd remains awake reclaiming pages long after it should have gone to sleep. This patch passes the adjusted order to sleeping_prematurely and uses the same logic as balance_pgdat to decide if it's ok to go to sleep.
