[PATCH 1/5] Light fragmentation avoidance without usemap: 001_antidefrag_flags

Mel Gorman
2005-11-22T19:17:18Z

This patch adds a flag __GFP_EASYRCLM. Allocations using the __GFP_EASYRCLM
flag are expected to be easily reclaimed by syncing with backing storage (be
it a file or swap) or cleaning the buffers and discarding.
