Subject: vmscan: handle may_swap more strictly
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9198e96c06744517e3b18fce8be6db61e96a3227;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

vmscan: handle may_swap more strictly

Commit 2e2e425989080cc534fc0fca154cae515f971cf5 ("vmscan,memcg:
reintroduce sc->may_swap) add may_swap flag and handle it at
get_scan_ratio().

But the result of get_scan_ratio() is ignored when priority == 0, so anon
lru is scanned even if may_swap == 0 or nr_swap_pages == 0.  IMHO, this is
not an expected behavior.

As for memcg especially, because of this behavior many and many pages are
swapped-out just in vain when oom is invoked by mem+swap limit.

This patch is for handling may_swap flag more strictly.
