Subject: Problem with /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio ???
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 09:50:01 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47B5A699.7010509@redhat.com> (raw)
balance_pgdat() calls zone_watermark_ok() three times, the first call
passes a zero(0) in as the 4th argument. This 4th argument is the
classzone_idx which is used as the index into the
zone->lowmem_reserve[] array. Since setup_per_zone_lowmem_reserve()
always sets the zone->lowmem_reserve[0] = 0(because there is nothing
below the DMA zone), zone_watermark_ok() will not consider the
lowmem_reserve pages when zero is passed as the 4th arg. Shouldnt this
4th argument be either "i" or "nr_zones - 1" ???
