Subject: vmscan: kswapd: don't retry balance_pgdat() if all zones are unreclaimable
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=de3fab39348dff18c69a0cd04efee9c276a02f51;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

vmscan: kswapd: don't retry balance_pgdat() if all zones are unreclaimable

Commit f50de2d3 (vmscan: have kswapd sleep for a short interval and double
check it should be asleep) can cause kswapd to enter an infinite loop if
running on a single-CPU system.  If all zones are unreclaimble,
sleeping_prematurely return 1 and kswapd will call balance_pgdat() again.
but it's totally meaningless, balance_pgdat() doesn't anything against
unreclaimable zone!
