Subject: [PATCH 7/8][for -mm] mem_notify v6: ignore very small zone for prevent incorrect low mem notify
Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 00:26:41 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2f11576a0802090726pa17d91crc1067554100f715f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
on X86, ZONE_DMA is very very small.
it cause undesirable low mem notification.
It should ignored.
but on other some architecture, ZONE_DMA have 4GB.
4GB is large as it is not possible to ignored.
therefore, ignore or not is decided by zone size.
ChangeLog:
v5: new
