From d4f7796e9b387e471ab0e8ed4e0c2bd616b3c193 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@engr.sgi.com> Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 13:04:22 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: fix zone_reclaim - PF_SWAPWRITE needs to be set for RECLAIM_SWAP to be able to write out pages to swap. Currently RECLAIM_SWAP may not do that. - remove setting nr_reclaimed pages after slab reclaim since the slab shrinking code does not use that and the nr_reclaimed pages is just right for the intended follow up action.
