From abe4c3b50c3f25cb1baf56036024860f12f96015 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 17:19:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: set up pagevec as late as possible in shrink_page_list() shrink_page_list() sets up a pagevec to release pages as according as they are free. It uses significant amounts of stack on the pagevec. This patch adds pages to be freed via pagevec to a linked list which is then freed en-masse at the end. This avoids using stack in the main path that potentially calls writepage().
