From e82e0561dae9f3ae5a21fc2d3d3ccbe69d90be46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2013 15:01:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: obey proportional scanning requirements for kswapd Simplistically, the anon and file LRU lists are scanned proportionally depending on the value of vm.swappiness although there are other factors taken into account by get_scan_count(). The patch "mm: vmscan: Limit the number of pages kswapd reclaims" limits the number of pages kswapd reclaims but it breaks this proportional scanning and may evenly shrink anon/file LRUs regardless of vm.swappiness. This patch preserves the proportional scanning and reclaim. It does mean that kswapd will reclaim more than requested but the number of pages will be related to the high watermark.
