Revision bbdb396a60b2ebf7de3b717991e5d3e28c8b7bbd authored by Martin Bligh on 28 October 2006, 17:38:25 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 28 October 2006, 18:30:51 UTC
If try_to_free_pages / balance_pgdat are called with a gfp_mask specifying GFP_IO and/or GFP_FS, they will reclaim the requisite number of pages, and the reset prev_priority to DEF_PRIORITY (or to some other high (ie: unurgent) value). However, another reclaimer without those gfp_mask flags set (say, GFP_NOIO) may still be struggling to reclaim pages. The concurrent overwrite of zone->prev_priority will cause this GFP_NOIO thread to unexpectedly cease deactivating mapped pages, thus causing reclaim difficulties. Fix this is to key the distress calculation not off zone->prev_priority, but also take into account the local caller's priority by using min(zone->prev_priority, sc->priority) Signed-off-by: Martin J.
