Subject: Re: compaction: trying to understand the code
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:34:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100820053447.GA13406@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <AA3F2D89535A431DB91FE3032EDCB9EA@rainbow>
You do run lots of tasks: kernel_stack=1880kB.
And you have lots of free memory, page reclaim has never run, so
inactive_anon=0. This is where compaction is different from vmscan.
In vmscan, inactive_anon is reasonably large, and will only be
compared directly with isolated_anon.
Thanks,
Fengguang
