Revision 494de90098784b8e2797598cefdd34188884ec2e authored by Mel Gorman on 03 July 2008, 04:27:51 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 03 July 2008, 16:22:59 UTC
The non-NUMA case of build_zonelist_cache() would initialize the zlcache_ptr for both node_zonelists[] to NULL. Which is problematic, since non-NUMA only has a single node_zonelists[] entry, and trying to zero the non-existent second one just overwrote the nr_zones field instead. As kswapd uses this value to determine what reclaim work is necessary, the result is that kswapd never reclaims. This causes processes to stall frequently in low-memory situations as they always direct reclaim. This patch initialises zlcache_ptr correctly.
