Subject: How zone_balane_ratio is decided?
Date: 2 Oct 2001 10:35:25 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011002103525.12117.qmail@mailweb12.rediffmail.com> (raw)

Hello there,
   In a code of zone allocator free_area_init_core() minimum pages, low pages and high pages for any zone are decided using

mask = realpages/zone_balance_ratio
minpages=mask
low pages=2*mask 
high pages=3*mask

how zone balance ratio is decided for each zone? What is its significance? Please tell as soon as possible. I am unable to go further reading code. 
 Thanking you in anticipation

- Amey
