Subject: [PATCH] VM: rate limit early reclaim
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e7e5a9048b30c57ba1ddaa6cdf59b21b65cde99;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git

[PATCH] VM: rate limit early reclaim

When early zone reclaim is turned on the LRU is scanned more frequently when a
zone is low on memory.  This limits when the zone reclaim can be called by
skipping the scan if another thread (either via kswapd or sync reclaim) is
already reclaiming from the zone.
