[PATCH -mm 22/24] vmscan: unevictable LRU scan sysctl

[Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: mm-only-vmscan-noreclaim-lru-scan-sysctl.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 11753 bytes --]

This patch adds a function to scan individual or all zones' unevictable
lists and move any pages that have become evictable onto the respective
zone's inactive list, where shrink_inactive_list() will deal with them.

Adds sysctl to scan all nodes, and per node attributes to individual
nodes' zones.

Kosaki:
If evictable page found in unevictable lru when write
/proc/sys/vm/scan_unevictable_pages, print filename and file offset of
these pages.

TODO:  DEBUGGING ONLY: NOT FOR UPSTREAM MERGE

V6:
+ moved to end of series as optional debug patch

V2 -> V3:
+ rebase to 23-mm1 atop RvR's split LRU series

New in V2
