From 24d404dc10b903da271e943a0f6b032dcbd177d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 14:32:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: memcontrol: switch soft limit default back to infinity Commit 3e32cb2e0a12 ("mm: memcontrol: lockless page counters") accidentally switched the soft limit default from infinity to zero, which turns all memcgs with even a single page into soft limit excessors and engages soft limit reclaim on all of them during global memory pressure. This makes global reclaim generally more aggressive, but also inverts the meaning of existing soft limit configurations where unset soft limits are usually more generous than set ones.
