From dc83edd941f412e938841b4989be24aa288a1aa6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:46:26 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: kswapd: use the classzone idx that kswapd was using for sleeping_prematurely() When kswapd is woken up for a high-order allocation, it takes account of the highest usable zone by the caller (the classzone idx). During allocation, this index is used to select the lowmem_reserve[] that should be applied to the watermark calculation in zone_watermark_ok(). When balancing a node, kswapd considers the highest unbalanced zone to be the classzone index. This will always be at least be the callers classzone_idx and can be higher. However, sleeping_prematurely() always considers the lowest zone (e.g. ZONE_DMA) to be the classzone index. This means that sleeping_prematurely() can consider a zone to be balanced that is unusable by the allocation request that originally woke kswapd. This patch changes sleeping_prematurely() to use a classzone_idx matching the value it used in balance_pgdat().
