From 76d3fbf8fbf6cc78ceb63549e0e0c5bc8a88f838 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:12:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: page allocator: reconsider zones for allocation after direct reclaim With zone_reclaim_mode enabled, it's possible for zones to be considered full in the zonelist_cache so they are skipped in the future. If the process enters direct reclaim, the ZLC may still consider zones to be full even after reclaiming pages. Reconsider all zones for allocation if direct reclaim returns successfully.
