It's worth noting that we already do targeted reclaim on boundaries other than zones. The lumpy reclaim and memory compaction logically do the same thing. So, it's at least possible to do this without having the global LRU designed around the way you want to reclaim. Also, if you get _too_ dependent on the global LRU, what are you going to do if our cgroup buddies manage to get cgroup'd pages off the global LRU? -- Dave -- 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/ .
