From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2006 13:25:17 +0100 From: Andy Whitcroft Subject: [PATCH 1/5] linear reclaim add order to reclaim path Message-ID: <20060908122517.GA898@shadowen.org> References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: Andy Whitcroft List-ID: linear reclaim add order to reclaim path In order to select an appropriate reclaim algorithm we need to know the order of the original failure. Pass the order down in the reclaim path.
