From 4d40502ea580c35414a1466d86f96484910ebaec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2011 15:46:23 -0800 Subject: mm: kswapd: reset kswapd_max_order and classzone_idx after reading When kswapd wakes up, it reads its order and classzone from pgdat and calls balance_pgdat. While its awake, it potentially reclaimes at a high order and a low classzone index. This might have been a once-off that was not required by subsequent callers. However, because the pgdat values were not reset, they remain artifically high while balance_pgdat() is running and potentially kswapd enters a second unnecessary reclaim cycle. Reset the pgdat order and classzone index after reading.
