But, if we have a choice, shouldn't we go for a section that is completely free instead of one that has pages that need some kind of reclaim first?

If we can't reclaim them, then I think it *needs* to be 0. -- Dave -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
