[patch 3/5] vmscan: remove all_unreclaimable scan control

[Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: vmscan-remove-all_unreclaimable-scan-control.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2425 bytes --]

This scan control is abused to communicate a return value from
shrink_zones().  Write this idiomatically and remove the knob.
