From a6bf527091b1dd40f1b6a496812ce7520621c282 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2006 17:33:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] vmscan: no zone_reclaim if PF_MALLOC is set If the process has already set PF_MALLOC and is already using current->reclaim_state then do not try to reclaim memory from the zone. This is set by kswapd and/or synchrononous global reclaim which will not take it lightly if we zap the reclaim_state.
