Subject: [PATCH 04/16] mm: page_alloc: Do not treat a zone that cannot be used for dirty pages as "full"
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:50:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397832643-14275-5-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1397832643-14275-1-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
If a zone cannot be used for a dirty page then it gets marked "full"
which is cached in the zlc and later potentially skipped by allocation
requests that have nothing to do with dirty zones.
