From adea02a1bea71a508da32c04d715485a1fe62029 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:01:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: count only reclaimable lru pages global_lru_pages() / zone_lru_pages() can be used in two ways: - to estimate max reclaimable pages in determine_dirtyable_memory() - to calculate the slab scan ratio When swap is full or not present, the anon lru lists are not reclaimable and also won't be scanned. So the anon pages shall not be counted in both usage scenarios. Also rename to _reclaimable_pages: now they are counting the possibly reclaimable lru pages. It can greatly (and correctly) increase the slab scan rate under high memory pressure (when most file pages have been reclaimed and swap is full/absent), thus reduce false OOM kills.
