Subject: Re: [PATCH 05/16] mm: balance zone aging in kswapd reclaim path
Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2005 18:58:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051207105805.GA7203@mail.ustc.edu.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20051207105004.018561000@localhost.localdomain>
Here is the new testing reports. The intermittent and concurrent copy of two
files is expected to generate large range of unreclaimable pages.
The balance seems to improve a lot since last version. And the direct reclaim
times is reduced to minimal.
