Its on the slow path so I would think that should be okay. But is this really necessary? Working with the per zone slab reclaim counters is not enough? We are adding counter after counter that have similar purposes and the handling gets more complex. Maybe we can get rid of the code in the slabs instead by just relying on the difference of the zone counters? -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
