Subject: [PATCH 08/12] mm: remove swap_cluster_max from scan_control
Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 18:18:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051201102106.518711000@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20051201101810.837245000@localhost.localdomain

[-- Attachment #1: mm-remove-swap-cluster-max-from-scan-control.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2354 bytes --]

The use of sc.swap_cluster_max is weird and redundant.

The callers should just set sc.priority/sc.nr_to_reclaim, and let
shrink_zone() decide the proper loop parameters.
