From e839b6a1c8d0895803bcbd587595a54f4221a625 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 15:13:30 -0700 Subject: memcg, vmscan: do not attempt soft limit reclaim if it would not scan anything mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim controls whether soft reclaim pass is done and it always says yes currently. Memcg iterators are clever to skip nodes that are not soft reclaimable quite efficiently but mem_cgroup_should_soft_reclaim can be more clever and do not start the soft reclaim pass at all if it knows that nothing would be scanned anyway. In order to do that, simply reuse mem_cgroup_soft_reclaim_eligible for the target group of the reclaim and allow the pass only if the whole subtree wouldn't be skipped.
