Subject: [PATCH 06/27] mm, vmscan: Begin reclaiming pages on a per-node basis
This patch makes reclaim decisions on a per-node basis. A reclaimer knows
what zone is required by the allocation request and skips pages from
higher zones. In many cases this will be ok because it's a GFP_HIGHMEM
request of some description. On 64-bit, ZONE_DMA32 requests will cause
some problems but 32-bit devices on 64-bit platforms are increasingly
rare. Historically it would have been a major problem on 32-bit with big
Highmem:Lowmem ratios but such configurations are also now rare and even
where they exist, they are not encouraged. If it really becomes a problem,
it'll manifest as very low reclaim efficiencies.
