From 5a1c9cbc1550f93335d7c03eb6c271e642deff04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2013 16:00:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: vmscan: do not continue scanning if reclaim was aborted for compaction Direct reclaim is not aborting to allow compaction to go ahead properly. do_try_to_free_pages is told to abort reclaim which is happily ignores and instead increases priority instead until it reaches 0 and starts shrinking file/anon equally. This patch corrects the situation by aborting reclaim when requested instead of raising priority.
