From 355b09c47a0cbb73b3e65a57c03f157f2e7ddb0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:46:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: kswapd: treat zone->all_unreclaimable in sleeping_prematurely similar to balance_pgdat() After DEF_PRIORITY, balance_pgdat() considers all_unreclaimable zones to be balanced but sleeping_prematurely does not. This can force kswapd to stay awake longer than it should. This patch fixes it.
