[Help] Question about vm: fair zone allocator policy

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

 



Hi, Johannes 
    
     I'm a new comer to vm. And I read your commit 81c0a2bb about fair zone allocator policy,  but I don't quite understand your opinion, especially the words that
 
   "the allocator may keep kswapd running while kswapd reclaim
    ensures that the page allocator can keep allocating from the first zone in
    the zonelist for extended periods of time. "

    Could you or someone else explain me what does this mean in more details? Or could you give me a example?

    Thank you very much!!
