Subject: [55/73] mm: vmstat: use a single setter function and callback for adjusting percpu thresholds
2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Mel Gorman <mel@....ul.ie>
commit b44129b30652c8771db2265939bb8b463724043d upstream.
reduce_pgdat_percpu_threshold() and restore_pgdat_percpu_threshold() exist
to adjust the per-cpu vmstat thresholds while kswapd is awake to avoid
errors due to counter drift. The functions duplicate some code so this
patch replaces them with a single set_pgdat_percpu_threshold() that takes
a callback function to calculate the desired threshold as a parameter.
[akpm@...ux-foundation.org: readability tweak]
