From 79dafcdca31386cfe0fe95b1c7f30a85209af166 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2016 15:45:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, vmscan: by default have direct reclaim only shrink once per node Direct reclaim iterates over all zones in the zonelist and shrinking them but this is in conflict with node-based reclaim. In the default case, only shrink once per node.
