From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 16:50:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 4/4] lumpy take the other active inactive pages in the area Message-ID: References: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline From: Andy Whitcroft Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: Andrew Morton , Peter Zijlstra , Mel Gorman , Andy Whitcroft , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-ID: When we scan an order N aligned area around our tag page take any other pages with a matching active state to that of the tag page. This will tend to demote areas of the order we are interested from the active list to the inactive list and from the end of the inactive list, increasing the chances of such areas coming free together.
