[-- Attachment #1: rvr-23-lts-noreclaim-lru-scan-sysctl.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 11638 bytes --]

Against: 2.6.26-rc2-mm1

V6:
+ moved to end of series as optional debug patch

V2 -> V3:
+ rebase to 23-mm1 atop RvR's split LRU series

New in V2

This patch adds a function to scan individual or all zones' noreclaim
lists and move any pages that have become reclaimable onto the respective
zone's inactive list, where shrink_inactive_list() will deal with them.

Adds sysctl to scan all nodes, and per node attributes to individual
nodes' zones.

Kosaki:
If reclaimable page found in noreclaim lru when write
/proc/sys/vm/scan_noreclaim_pages, print filename and file offset of
these pages.
