Subject: [PATCH 09/13] mm: remove swap_cluster_max from scan_control
Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2005 21:56:17 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051206135906.658120000@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20051206135608.860737000@localhost.localdomain

[-- Attachment #1: mm-remove-swap-cluster-max-from-scan-control.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2384 bytes --]

The use of sc.swap_cluster_max is weird and redundant.

The callers should just set sc.priority/sc.nr_to_reclaim, and let
shrink_zone() decide the proper loop parameters.
