Changelog since V2 o Add new function - can_reclaim_anon : it tests anon_list can be reclaim. Changelog since V1 o Use nr_swap_pages <= 0 in shrink_active_list to prevent scanning of active anon list. Now shrink_zone can deactivate active anon pages even if we don't have a swap device. Many embedded products don't have a swap device. So the deactivation of anon pages is unnecessary. This patch prevents unnecessary deactivation of anon lru pages. But, it don't prevent aging of anon pages to swap out. Thanks for good review. Rik and Kosaki.
