From 83e33a4711760469f5c3861b8ffea4947656d4eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 23:31:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] zone reclaim with slab: avoid unecessary off node allocations Minor performance fix. If we reclaimed enough slab pages from a zone then we can avoid going off node with the current allocation. Take care of updating nr_reclaimed when reclaiming from the slab.
