Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm/page_alloc: change sysctl_lower_zone_reserve_ratio to sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 22:01:30 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1440511291-3990-1-git-send-email-bywxiaobai@163.com> (raw)

We use sysctl_lowmem_reserve_ratio rather than sysctl_lower_zone_reserve_ratio to
determine how aggressive the kernel is in defending lowmem from the possibility of
being captured into pinned user memory. To avoid misleading, correct it in some
comments.
