This patch reset reclaim mode in shrink_active_list() to RECLAIM_MODE_SINGLE | RECLAIM_MODE_ASYNC. (sync/async sign is used only in shrink_page_list and does not affect shrink_active_list) Currenly shrink_active_list() sometimes works in lumpy-reclaim mode, if RECLAIM_MODE_LUMPYRECLAIM left over from earlier shrink_inactive_list(). Meanwhile, in age_active_anon() sc->reclaim_mode is totally zero. So, current behavior is too complex and confusing, all this looks like bug. In general, shrink_active_list() populate inactive list for next shrink_inactive_list(). Lumpy shring_inactive_list() isolate pages around choosen one from both active and inactive lists. So, there no reasons for lumpy-isolation in shrink_active_list() Proposed-by: Hugh Dickins<hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/15/583 Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov<khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxx>
