[patch] mm: memcontrol: default hierarchy interface for memory fix - high reclaim

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

 



High limit reclaim can currently overscan in proportion to how many
charges are happening concurrently.  Tone it down such that charges
don't target the entire high-boundary excess, but instead only the
pages they charged themselves when excess is detected.
