[PATCHv3 2/3] ext4: allocate buffer-cache for superblock in, non-movable area

From: Gioh Kim <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-28 02:32:32
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

A buffer-cache for superblock is disturbing page migration,
because the buffer-cache is not released until unmount.
The buffer-cache must be allocated from non-movable area.
