[PATCH] zone_reclaim: configurable off node allocation period.
Currently the zone_reclaim code has a fixed window of 30 seconds of off node
allocations should a local zone have no unused pagecache pages left. Reclaim
will be attempted again after this timeout period to avoid repeated useless
scans for memory. This is also useful to established sufficiently large off
node allocation chunks to relieve the local node.
It may be beneficial to adjust that time period for some special situations.
For example if memory use was exceeding node capacity one may want to give up
for longer periods of time. If memory spikes intermittendly then one may want
to shorten the time period to reduce the number of off node allocations.
This patch allows just that....
