Subject: [PATCH 10/13] mm: let sc.nr_scanned/sc.nr_reclaimed accumulate
Date: Tue, 06 Dec 2005 21:56:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051206135922.125063000@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20051206135608.860737000@localhost.localdomain

[-- Attachment #1: mm-accumulate-nr-scanned-reclaimed-in-scan-control.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4611 bytes --]

Now that there's no need to keep track of nr_scanned/nr_reclaimed for every
single round of shrink_zone(), remove the total_scanned/total_reclaimed and
let nr_scanned/nr_reclaimed accumulate between shrink_zone() calls.
