From da175d06b437093f93109ba9e5efbe44dfdf9409 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 15:39:39 -0700 Subject: mm: vmscan: evaluate the watermarks against the correct classzone MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When deciding if kswapd is sleeping prematurely, the classzone is taken into account but this is different to what balance_pgdat() and the allocator are doing. Specifically, the DMA zone will be checked based on the classzone used when waking kswapd which could be for a GFP_KERNEL or GFP_HIGHMEM request. The lowmem reserve limit kicks in, the watermark is not met and kswapd thinks it's sleeping prematurely keeping kswapd awake in error.
