From 52a8363eae3872af15880292ff4e06d0fab36986 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2006 03:05:28 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: improve function of sc->may_writepage Make sc->may_writepage control the writeout behavior of shrink_list. Remove the laptop_mode trick from shrink_list and instead set may_writepage in try_to_free_pages properly.
