Hugh Dickins 1b76b02f15 mm: raise MemFree by reverting percpu_pagelist_fraction to 0 ... Why is there less MemFree than there used to be? It perturbed a test, so I've just been bisecting linux-next, and now find the offender went upstream yesterday. Commit 93278814d3 "mm: fix division by 0 in percpu_pagelist_fraction()" mistakenly initialized percpu_pagelist_fraction to the sysctl's minimum 8, which leaves 1/8th of memory on percpu lists (on each cpu??); but most of us expect it to be left unset at 0 (and it's not then used as a divisor). MemTotal: 8061476kB 8061476kB 8061476kB 8061476kB 8061476kB 8061476kB Repetitive test with percpu_pagelist_fraction 8: MemFree: 6948420kB 6237172kB 6949696kB 6840692kB 6949048kB 6862984kB Same test with percpu_pagelist_fraction back to 0: MemFree: 7945000kB 7944908kB 7948568kB 7949060kB 7948796kB 7948812kB Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> [ We really should fix the crazy sysctl interface too, but that's a separate thing - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>		2012-05-11 09:23:39 -07:00
