From 91ca9186484809c57303b33778d841cc28f696ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:47:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm, compaction: ignore pageblock skip when manually invoking compaction The cached pageblock hint should be ignored when triggering compaction through /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory so all eligible memory is isolated. Manually invoking compaction is known to be expensive, there's no need to skip pageblocks based on heuristics (mainly for debugging).
