[PATCH 1/7] mm: Cleanup - Reorganize the shrink_page_list code into smaller functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch prepares the code for being able to batch the anonymous pages
to be swapped out.  It reorganizes shrink_page_list function with
2 new functions: handle_pgout and pg_finish.

The paging operation in shrink_page_list is consolidated into
handle_pgout function.

After we have scanned a page shrink_page_list and completed any paging,
the final disposition and clean up of the page is conslidated into
pg_finish.  The designated disposition of the page from page scanning
in shrink_page_list is marked with one of the designation in pg_result.

This is a clean up patch and there is no change in functionality or
logic of the code.
