Subject: [PATCH] Revert "mm: vmscan: fix misused nr_reclaimed in shrink_mem_cgroup_zone()"
Date: Mon,  9 Apr 2012 12:42:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1334000524-23972-1-git-send-email-yinghan@google.com> (raw)

This reverts commit c38446cc65e1f2b3eb8630c53943b94c4f65f670.

Before the commit, the code makes senses to me but not after the commit. The
"nr_reclaimed" is the number of pages reclaimed by scanning through the memcg's
lru lists. The "nr_to_reclaim" is the target value for the whole function. For
example, we like to early break the reclaim if reclaimed 32 pages under direct
reclaim (not DEF_PRIORITY).

After the reverted commit, the target "nr_to_reclaim" is decremented each time
by "nr_reclaimed" but we still use it to compare the "nr_reclaimed". It just
doesn't make sense to me...
