And per-zone reclaim can lead to new issue. On 32bit highmem system,
theorically the system has following memory usage.
ZONE_HIGHMEM: 100% used for page cache
ZONE_NORMAL: 100% used for slab
So, traditional page-cache/slab balancing may not work. I think following
new calculation or somethinhg else is necessary.
if (zone_reclaimable_pages() > NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE) {
using current calculation
} else {
shrink number of "objects >> reclaim-priority" objects
(as page cache scanning calculation)
}
However, it can be separate this patch, perhaps.
