Subject: [PATCH 4/5] mm: memcg revert upstream all_unreclaimable() use zone->all_unreclaimable as a name
Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2012 11:24:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1339007045-10616-1-git-send-email-yinghan@google.com> (raw)
The upstream change reverts the other change as listed below:
commit d1908362ae0b97374eb8328fbb471576332f9fb1
Author: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com>
Date: Wed Sep 22 13:05:01 2010 -0700
vmscan: check all_unreclaimable in direct reclaim path
The zone->all_unreclaimable flag is set by kswapd by checking zone->pages_scanned in
zone_reclaimable(). It is possible to have zone->all_unreclaimable == false while
the zone is actually unreclaimable, and it will cause machine to stuck.
1. while kswapd in reclaim priority loop, someone frees a page on the zone. It
will end up resetting the pages_scanned.
2. kswapd is frozen for whatever reason. This happens in hibernation where we are
not interested in google.
Especially we need to keep Minchan's patch after the softlimit reclaim support.
On a system which over-commit the softlimit, it is easily to make the system hang
w/o it.
