To\navoid synchronization overhead, these counters are maintained on a per-cpu\nbasis and drained both periodically and when a threshold is above a\nthreshold. On large CPU systems, the difference between the estimate and\nreal value of NR_FREE_PAGES can be very high. The system can get into a\ncase where pages are allocated far below the min watermark potentially\ncausing livelock issues. The commit solved the problem by taking a better\nreading of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory was low.\n\nUnfortately, as reported by Shaohua Li this accurate reading can consume a\nlarge amount of CPU time on systems with many sockets due to cache line\nbouncing. This patch takes a different approach. For large machines\nwhere counter drift might be unsafe and while kswapd is awake, the per-cpu\nthresholds for the target pgdat are reduced to limit the level of drift to\nwhat should be a safe level. This incurs a performance penalty in heavy\nmemory pressure by a factor that depends on the workload and the machine\nbut the machine should function correctly without accidentally exhausting\nall memory on a node. There is an additional cost when kswapd wakes and\nsleeps but the event is not expected to be frequent - in Shaohua\u0027s test\ncase, there was one recorded sleep and wake event at least.\n\nTo ensure that kswapd wakes up, a safe version of zone_watermark_ok() is\nintroduced that takes a more accurate reading of NR_FREE_PAGES when called\nfrom wakeup_kswapd, when deciding whether it is really safe to go back to\nsleep in sleeping_prematurely() and when deciding if a zone is really\nbalanced or not in balance_pgdat(). We are still using an expensive\nfunction but limiting how often it is called.\n\nWhen the test case is reproduced, the time spent in the watermark\nfunctions is reduced. The following report is on the percentage of time\nspent cumulatively spent in the functions zone_nr_free_pages(),\nzone_watermark_ok(), __zone_watermark_ok(), zone_watermark_ok_safe(),\nzone_page_state_snapshot(), zone_page_state().\n\nvanilla 11.6615%\ndisable-threshold 0.2584%\n\nDavid said:\n\n: We had to pull aa454840 \"mm: page allocator: calculate a better estimate\n: of NR_FREE_PAGES when memory is low and kswapd is awake\" from 2.6.36\n: internally because tests showed that it would cause the machine to stall\n: as the result of heavy kswapd activity.

Then it can be removed\nsafely. It reduce stack usage slightly.\n\nNow I have to say that I\u0027m sorry. 2 years ago, I thought prev_priority\ncan be integrate again, it\u0027s useful. but four (or more) times trying\nhaven\u0027t got good performance number. Thus I give up such approach.\n\nThe rest of this changelog is notes on prev_priority and why it existed in\nthe first place and why it might be not necessary any more. This information\nis based heavily on discussions between Andrew Morton, Rik van Riel and\nKosaki Motohiro who is heavily quotes from.\n\nHistorically prev_priority was important because it determined when the VM\nwould start unmapping PTE pages. i.e. there are no balances of note within\nthe VM, Anon vs File and Mapped vs Unmapped. Without prev_priority, there\nis a potential risk of unnecessarily increasing minor faults as a large\namount of read activity of use-once pages could push mapped pages to the\nend of the LRU and get unmapped.\n\nThere is no proof this is still a problem but currently it is not considered\nto be. Active files are not deactivated if the active file list is smaller\nthan the inactive list reducing the liklihood that file-mapped pages are\nbeing pushed off the LRU and referenced executable pages are kept on the\nactive list to avoid them getting pushed out by read activity.\n\nEven if it is a problem, prev_priority prev_priority wouldn\u0027t works\nnowadays. First of all, current vmscan still a lot of UP centric code. it\nexpose some weakness on some dozens CPUs machine. I think we need more and\nmore improvement.\n\nThe problem is, current vmscan mix up per-system-pressure, per-zone-pressure\nand per-task-pressure a bit. example, prev_priority try to boost priority to\nother concurrent priority. but if the another task have mempolicy restriction,\nit is unnecessary, but also makes wrong big latency and exceeding reclaim.\nper-task based priority + prev_priority adjustment make the emulation of\nper-system pressure. but it have two issue 1) too rough and brutal emulation\n2) we need per-zone pressure, not per-system.\n\nAnother example, currently DEF_PRIORITY is 12. it mean the lru rotate about\n2 cycle (1/4096 + 1/2048 + 1/1024 + .. + 1) before invoking OOM-Killer.\nbut if 10,0000 thrreads enter DEF_PRIORITY reclaim at the same time, the\nsystem have higher memory pressure than priority\u003d\u003d0 (1/4096*10,000 \u003e 2).\nprev_priority can\u0027t solve such multithreads workload issue. In other word,\nprev_priority concept assume the sysmtem don\u0027t have lots threads.\"\n\nSigned-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro \u003ckosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nReviewed-by: Johannes Weiner \u003channes@cmpxchg.org\u003e\nReviewed-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Dave Chinner \u003cdavid@fromorbit.com\u003e\nCc: Chris Mason \u003cchris.mason@oracle.com\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Johannes Weiner \u003channes@cmpxchg.org\u003e\nCc: Christoph Hellwig \u003chch@infradead.org\u003e\nCc: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: KOSAKI Motohiro \u003ckosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: Andrea Arcangeli \u003caarcange@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Michael Rubin \u003cmrubin@google.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "31f961a89bd1cb9baaf32af4bd8b571ace3447b1", "tree": "add1380e479ff92ad92da090e606857162b88e66", "parents": [ "0aad4b3124850e85fe54e610802f0917ce46a1ae" ], "author": { "name": "Minchan Kim", "email": "minchan.kim@gmail.com", "time": "Mon Aug 09 17:18:59 2010 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon Aug 09 20:44:57 2010 -0700" }, "message": "mm: use for_each_online_cpu() in vmstat\n\nThe sum_vm_events passes cpumask for for_each_cpu().

Prepare for\nthis change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those\nheaders directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion\nneeds to touch large number of source files, the following script is\nused as the basis of conversion.\n\n http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py\n\nThe script does the followings.\n\n* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that\n only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,\n gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.\n\n* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include\n blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms\n to its surrounding. It\u0027s put in the include block which contains\n core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -\n alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there\n doesn\u0027t seem to be any matching order.\n\n* If the script can\u0027t find a place to put a new include (mostly\n because the file doesn\u0027t have fitting include block), it prints out\n an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the\n file.\n\nThe conversion was done in the following steps.\n\n1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly\n over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h\n and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400\n files.\n\n2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn\u0027t need the inclusion,\n some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or\n embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added\n inclusions to around 150 files.\n\n3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits\n from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.\n\n4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.\n e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab\n APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.\n\n5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically\n editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h\n files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h\n inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually\n wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each\n slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as\n necessary.\n\n6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.\n\n7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures\n were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my\n distributed build env didn\u0027t work with gcov compiles) and a few\n more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things\n build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).\n\n * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.\n * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig\n * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig\n * ia64 SMP allmodconfig\n * s390 SMP allmodconfig\n * alpha SMP allmodconfig\n * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig\n\n8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as\n a separate patch and serve as bisection point.\n\nGiven the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step\n6, I\u0027m fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.\nIf there is a breakage, it\u0027s likely to be something in one of the arch\nheaders which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of\nthe specific arch.\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nGuess-its-ok-by: Christoph Lameter \u003ccl@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nCc: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Lee Schermerhorn \u003cLee.Schermerhorn@hp.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "93e4a89a8c987189b168a530a331ef6d0fcf07a7", "tree": "deb08017c0e4874539549d3ea9bf2d7b447a43be", "parents": [ "fc91668eaf9e7ba61e867fc2218b7e9fb67faa4f" ], "author": { "name": "KOSAKI Motohiro", "email": "kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com", "time": "Fri Mar 05 13:41:55 2010 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Sat Mar 06 11:26:25 2010 -0800" }, "message": "mm: restore zone-\u003eall_unreclaimable to independence word\n\ncommit e815af95 (\"change all_unreclaimable zone member to flags\") changed\nall_unreclaimable member to bit flag.

In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always\nhave valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.\nIn SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the\nentire section.\n\nHowever, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free\nmemmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never\nused. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()\nreturns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional\ncheck to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the\nzone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of\nthe full memmap are extremely rare.\n\nThis was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for\nSPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages\nare totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that\nany clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching\nthese unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the\nmemmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of\nthe hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid\nmemmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory\nconsumption offsetting the gains.\n\nThis patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes\nin the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets\nARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx\nwhich is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand\nlater. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()\nfor each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for\nthat PFN.

Even if\npage_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters\nin /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is\nunlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.\n\nReported-by: H Hartley Sweeten \u003chsweeten@visionengravers.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nTested-by: H Hartley Sweeten \u003chsweeten@visionengravers.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Russell King \u003crmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "c748e1340e0de3fa7fed86f8bdf499be9242afff", "tree": "864d3133bb8c3f73615497ef1fc557fcf93e5f1b", "parents": [ "4f5ca265788973e3f5a1129a96ee4a9cbf587f2b" ], "author": { "name": "Adrian Bunk", "email": "bunk@kernel.org", "time": "Wed Jul 23 21:27:03 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Jul 24 10:47:14 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm/vmstat.c: proper externs\n\nThis patch adds proper extern declarations for five variables in\ninclude/linux/vmstat.h\n\nSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk \u003cbunk@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "6d6a4360876f1e758e215570ccb04518db7cec3a", "tree": "f978c00e4eb4acafc820800d0d307c0d89cdc08b", "parents": [ "363ab6f1424cdea63e5d182312d60e19077b892a" ], "author": { "name": "Mike Travis", "email": "travis@sgi.com", "time": "Mon May 12 21:21:13 2008 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Thomas Gleixner", "email": "tglx@linutronix.de", "time": "Fri May 23 18:35:12 2008 +0200" }, "message": "mm: use performance variant for_each_cpu_mask_nr\n\nChange references from for_each_cpu_mask to for_each_cpu_mask_nr\nwhere appropriate\n\nReviewed-by: Paul Jackson \u003cpj@sgi.com\u003e\nReviewed-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Mike Travis \u003ctravis@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\n\n" }, { "commit": "b5be11329f8cb2cc1a4c3b33b6b8d096c6012895", "tree": "30ccea8a490bbde0e0760274b6eb4c5863971caa", "parents": [ "78f508ab07954d12896097ac07ab2fab443c7ca2" ], "author": { "name": "KOSAKI Motohiro", "email": "kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com", "time": "Mon May 12 14:02:06 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue May 13 08:02:23 2008 -0700" }, "message": "make vmstat cpu-unplug safe\n\nWhen accessing cpu_online_map, we should prevent dynamic changing\nof cpu_online_map by get_online_cpus().\n\nUnfortunately, all_vm_events() doesn\u0027t do that.\n\nSigned-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro \u003ckosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nCc: Gautham R Shenoy \u003cego@in.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fc3ba692a4d19019387c5acaea63131f9eab05dd", "tree": "c86e025cb8f79c7ffc479029989b7378bcb9f285", "parents": [ "dd5656e59ca7b25fb60a22f9079905ed0da5ed0c" ], "author": { "name": "Miklos Szeredi", "email": "mszeredi@suse.cz", "time": "Wed Apr 30 00:54:38 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Wed Apr 30 08:29:50 2008 -0700" }, "message": "mm: Add NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter\n\nFuse will use temporary buffers to write back dirty data from memory mappings\n(normal writes are done synchronously).

This has the effect of keeping all non-movable pages within a\nsingle memory partition while allowing movable allocations to be satisfied\nfrom either partition. The patches may be applied with the list-based\nanti-fragmentation patches that groups pages together based on mobility.\n\nThe size of the zone is determined by a kernelcore\u003d parameter specified at\nboot-time. This specifies how much memory is usable by non-movable\nallocations and the remainder is used for ZONE_MOVABLE. Any range of pages\nwithin ZONE_MOVABLE can be released by migrating the pages or by reclaiming.\n\nWhen selecting a zone to take pages from for ZONE_MOVABLE, there are two\nthings to consider. First, only memory from the highest populated zone is\nused for ZONE_MOVABLE. On the x86, this is probably going to be ZONE_HIGHMEM\nbut it would be ZONE_DMA on ppc64 or possibly ZONE_DMA32 on x86_64. Second,\nthe amount of memory usable by the kernel will be spread evenly throughout\nNUMA nodes where possible. If the nodes are not of equal size, the amount of\nmemory usable by the kernel on some nodes may be greater than others.\n\nBy default, the zone is not as useful for hugetlb allocations because they are\npinned and non-migratable (currently at least). A sysctl is provided that\nallows huge pages to be allocated from that zone. This means that the huge\npage pool can be resized to the size of ZONE_MOVABLE during the lifetime of\nthe system assuming that pages are not mlocked. Despite huge pages being\nnon-movable, we do not introduce additional external fragmentation of note as\nhuge pages are always the largest contiguous block we care about.\n\nCredit goes to Andy Whitcroft for catching a large variety of problems during\nreview of the patches.\n\nThis patch creates an additional zone, ZONE_MOVABLE. This zone is only usable\nby allocations which specify both __GFP_HIGHMEM and __GFP_MOVABLE. Hot-added\nmemory continues to be placed in their existing destination as there is no\nmechanism to redirect them to a specific zone.\n\n[y-goto@jp.fujitsu.com: Fix section mismatch of memory hotplug related code]\n[akpm@linux-foundation.org: various fixes]\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmel@csn.ul.ie\u003e\nCc: Andy Whitcroft \u003capw@shadowen.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Yasunori Goto \u003cy-goto@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: William Lee Irwin III \u003cwli@holomorphy.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "23c1fb52961bc24bd3a8078eefc49eed533b2b38", "tree": "48500a3495dbbf623751bc3b9e884dd25e3c86c3", "parents": [ "0da2f0f164f098bb4447c714b552ac1681b2d6e8" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "peterz@infradead.org", "time": "Fri Jul 06 13:35:34 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Fri Jul 06 10:26:50 2007 -0700" }, "message": "mm: fixup /proc/vmstat output\n\nLine up the vmstat_text with zone_stat_item\n\nenum zone_stat_item {\n\t/* First 128 byte cacheline (assuming 64 bit words) */\n\tNR_FREE_PAGES,\n\tNR_INACTIVE,\n\tNR_ACTIVE,\n\nWe current have nr_active and nr_inactive reversed.\n\n[ \"OK with patch, though using initializers canbe handy to prevent such\n things in future:\n\n\tstatic const char * const vmstat_text[] \u003d {\n\t\t[NR_FREE_PAGES] \u003d \"nr_free_pages\",\n\t\t...\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t - Alexey ]\n\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nAcked-by: Alexey Dobriyan \u003cadobriyan@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e8edc6e03a5c8562dc70a6d969f732bdb355a7e7", "tree": "fc86c863655128a7041dfe613d14393d761fa7b9", "parents": [ "ff1be9ad61e3e17ba83702d8ed0b534e5b8ee15c" ], "author": { "name": "Alexey Dobriyan", "email": "adobriyan@gmail.com", "time": "Mon May 21 01:22:52 2007 +0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.linux-foundation.org", "time": "Mon May 21 09:18:19 2007 -0700" }, "message": "Detach sched.h from mm.h\n\nFirst thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline\nfunction which has \"current\" dereference inside.

The cache reaper does only exists in SLUB as a way to\nprovide compatibility with SLAB.

This will lead to some overlap in large\nsystems. F.e a system running at 250 HZ with 1024 processors will have 4 vm\nupdates occurring at once.\n\nHowever, the vm stats update only accesses per node information.

They then fail to reclaim mapped pages, when they are,\nin fact, under severe memory pressure (their priority may be as low as 0).\nThis causes the OOM killer to fire incorrectly.\n\nFrom: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\n\n__zone_reclaim() isn\u0027t modifying zone-\u003eprev_priority. But zone-\u003eprev_priority\nis used in the decision whether or not to bring mapped pages onto the inactive\nlist. Hence there\u0027s a risk here that __zone_reclaim() will fail because\nzone-\u003eprev_priority ir large (ie: low urgency) and lots of mapped pages end up\nstuck on the active list.\n\nFix that up by decreasing (ie making more urgent) zone-\u003eprev_priority as\n__zone_reclaim() scans the zone\u0027s pages.\n\nThis bug perhaps explains why ZONE_RECLAIM_PRIORITY was created. It should be\npossible to remove that now, and to just start out at DEF_PRIORITY?\n\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnickpiggin@yahoo.com.au\u003e\nCc: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@engr.sgi.com\u003e\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "038b0a6d8d32db934bba6a24e74e76e4e327a94f", "tree": "5fbeb3e8f140e20f8ce0e33e12b32ec5b0724cd6", "parents": [ "78b656b8bf933101b42409b4492734b23427bfc3" ], "author": { "name": "Dave Jones", "email": "davej@redhat.com", "time": "Wed Oct 04 03:38:54 2006 -0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Dave Jones", "email": "davej@redhat.com", "time": "Wed Oct 04 03:38:54 2006 -0400" }, "message": "Remove all inclusions of \u003clinux/config.h\u003e\nkbuild explicitly includes this at build time.\n\nSigned-off-by: Dave Jones \u003cdavej@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "5d2923436217ba8bd05c5ee157712a391891c382", "tree": "ddb06469d5a992a1839ca5d7f626486ac99490d2", "parents": [ "66a550308b8e4cbaba185d0326cb05d1bd758101" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Lameter", "email": "clameter@sgi.com", "time": "Wed Sep 27 01:50:10 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 27 08:26:13 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] zone_statistics: Use hot node instead of cold zone_pgdat\n\nNow that we have the node in the hot zone of struct zone we can avoid\naccessing zone_pgdat in zone_statistics.\n\nSigned-off-by: Christoph Lameter \u003cclameter@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "e129b5c23c2b471d47f1c5d2b8b193fc2034af43", "tree": "78232266849d0f04b056b0f44554bcb476f0b8e1", "parents": [ "fb01439c5b778d5974a488c5d4fe85e6d0e18a68" ], "author": { "name": "Andrew Morton", "email": "akpm@osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 27 01:50:00 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Sep 27 08:26:12 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] vm: add per-zone writeout counter\n\nThe VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the\nLRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates).
