From a92f71263af9d0ab77c260f709c0c079656221aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 03:05:32 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] zone_reclaim: partial scans instead of full scan Instead of scanning all the pages in a zone, imitate real swap and scan only a portion of the pages and gradually scan more if we do not free up enough pages. This avoids a zone suddenly loosing all unused pagecache pages (we may after all access some of these again so they deserve another chance) but it still frees up large chunks of memory if a zone only contains unused pagecache pages.
