The patch titled vmscan: drop PF_SWAPWRITE from zone_reclaim has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was vmscan-drop-pf_swapwrite-from-zone_reclaim.patch This patch was dropped because it is obsolete The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: vmscan: drop PF_SWAPWRITE from zone_reclaim From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> PF_SWAPWRITE mean ignore write congestion. (see may_write_to_queue()) foreground reclaim shouldn't ignore it because writing to a write congested device cause large IO lantencies. It isn't better than remote node allocation.
