Doubt reg time interval betn 2 calls of page_launder_zone

Hi:

   Im experimenting with the page_laundering loop in Linux.

-    I was experimenting by calling the page_launder() fn twice
successively in the kswapd loop for *malloced pages* so that
1) the first time pages were mapped to swap cache and buffers were formed.
2) the second time, the buffers were written to disk.

  Is there any assumption on the *time interval* between 2 calls of
page_launder_zone() ?

The reason Im asking this is that it doesnt seem that the
try_to_release_page() gets called immediately after the
page_launder_zone() runs the second time.

Thanks a lot,
Anand.
