Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2011 00:37:23 +0900 Message-Id: <1321285043-3470-1-git-send-email-minchan.kim@gmail.com> Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: To: Andrew Morton Cc: linux-mm , LKML , Mel Gorman , Johannes Weiner , Rik van Riel , KOSAKI Motohiro , Minchan Kim [1] made avoid unnecessary reclaim stall when second shrink_page_list(ie, synchronous shrink_page_list) try to reclaim page_list which has not-dirty pages. But it seems rather awkawrd on unevictable page. The unevictable page in shrink_page_list would be moved into unevictable lru from page_list. So it would be not on page_list when shrink_page_list returns. Nevertheless it skips reclaim stall. This patch fixes it so that it can do reclaim stall in case of mixing mlocked pages and writeback pages on page_list.
