Subject: [PATCH] mm: correct the comment when reclaimed pages exceed the scanned pages
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 16:31:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1496824266-25235-1-git-send-email-zhongjiang@huawei.com> (raw)

The commit e1587a494540 ("mm: vmpressure: fix sending wrong events on
underflow") declare that reclaimed pages exceed the scanned pages due
to the thp reclaim. it is incorrect because THP will be spilt to normal
page and loop again. which will result in the scanned pages increment.
