From: Dave Chinner Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2011 04:14:37 +0000 (+1000) Subject: vmscan: add customisable shrinker batch size X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9299f5058595a655c3b207cda9635e28b9197e6;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git vmscan: add customisable shrinker batch size For shrinkers that have their own cond_resched* calls, having shrink_slab break the work down into small batches is not paticularly efficient. Add a custom batchsize field to the struct shrinker so that shrinkers can use a larger batch size if they desire. A value of zero (uninitialised) means "use the default", so behaviour is unchanged by this patch.
