From 34aa1330f9b3c5783d269851d467326525207422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2006 01:55:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] zoned vm counters: zone_reclaim: remove /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval The zone_reclaim_interval was necessary because we were not able to determine how many unmapped pages exist in a zone. Therefore we had to scan in intervals to figure out if any pages were unmapped. With the zoned counters and NR_ANON_PAGES we now know the number of pagecache pages and the number of mapped pages in a zone. So we can simply skip the reclaim if there is an insufficient number of unmapped pages. We use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX as the boundary. Drop all support for /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval.
