From 327c0e968645f2601a43f5ea7c19c7b3a5fa0a34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:23:31 -0700 Subject: vmscan: fix it to take care of nodemask try_to_free_pages() is used for the direct reclaim of up to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages when watermarks are low. The caller to alloc_pages_nodemask() can specify a nodemask of nodes that are allowed to be used but this is not passed to try_to_free_pages(). This can lead to unnecessary reclaim of pages that are unusable by the caller and int the worst case lead to allocation failure as progress was not been make where it is needed. This patch passes the nodemask used for alloc_pages_nodemask() to try_to_free_pages().
