Subject: kswapd skips compaction if reclaim order drops to zero?
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 18:02:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJd=RBBF2h_tRpbTV6OkxQOfkvKt=ebn_PbE8+r7JxAuaFZxFQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

If the allocation order is not high, direct compaction does nothing.
Can we skip compaction here if order drops to zero?
