Subject: [PATCH] vmscan: zone_reclaim use may_swap
Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt says
zone_reclaim_mode:
Zone_reclaim_mode allows someone to set more or less aggressive approaches to
reclaim memory when a zone runs out of memory. If it is set to zero then no
zone reclaim occurs. Allocations will be satisfied from other zones / nodes
in the system.
This is value ORed together of
1 = Zone reclaim on
2 = Zone reclaim writes dirty pages out
4 = Zone reclaim swaps pages
So, "(zone_reclaim_mode & RECLAIM_SWAP) == 0" mean we don't want to reclaim
swap-backed pages. not mapped file.
Thus, may_swap is better than may_unmap.
