X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ee27497df36823f2793212cad0997c044eb0e1eb;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

[PATCH] SwapMig: Drop unused pages immediately

Drop unused pages immediately

If a page is encountered that is only referenced by the migration code then
there is no reason to swap or migrate the page.  Release the page by calling
move_to_lru().
