Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mm: vmscan: If kswapd has been running too long, allow it to sleep
Date: Fri, 13 May 2011 15:03:24 +0100
Message-Id: <1305295404-12129-5-git-send-email-mgorman@suse.de>
X-Mailing-List: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org
Under constant allocation pressure, kswapd can be in the situation where
sleeping_prematurely() will always return true even if kswapd has been
running a long time. Check if kswapd needs to be scheduled.
