Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation: mm: Fix path to extfrag_index in vm.txt
Date: Fri,  6 Apr 2012 01:48:09 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333644489-31466-2-git-send-email-standby24x7@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1333644489-31466-1-git-send-email-standby24x7@gmail.com>

The path for extfrag_index has not been updated even after it moved
to under /sys. This patch fixed the path.

 The kernel will not compact memory in a zone if the
 fragmentation index is <= extfrag_threshold. The default value is 500.
