From 4be89a34609659042ef0bf883ad76388fb5251bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jianyu Zhan Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:10:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmscan.c: use DIV_ROUND_UP for calculation of zone's balance_gap and correct comments. Currently, we use (zone->managed_pages + KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO-1) / KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO to avoid a zero gap value. It's better to use DIV_ROUND_UP macro for neater code and clear meaning. Besides, the gap value is calculated against the per-zone "managed pages", not "present pages". This patch also corrects the comment and do some rephrasing.
