Subject: Re: vmscan: Do not run shrinkers for zones other than ZONE_NORMAL
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 2010 13:27:05 -0500 (CDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1010211326310.24115@router.home> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101021181347.GB32737@basil.fritz.box>

Potential fixup....



Allocations to ZONE_NORMAL may fall back to ZONE_DMA and ZONE_DMA32
so we must allow calling shrinkers for these zones as well.
