From e12ba74d8ff3e2f73a583500d7095e406df4d093 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 01:25:52 -0700 Subject: Group short-lived and reclaimable kernel allocations This patch marks a number of allocations that are either short-lived such as network buffers or are reclaimable such as inode allocations. When something like updatedb is called, long-lived and unmovable kernel allocations tend to be spread throughout the address space which increases fragmentation. This patch groups these allocations together as much as possible by adding a new MIGRATE_TYPE. The MIGRATE_RECLAIMABLE type is for allocations that can be reclaimed on demand, but not moved. i.e. they can be migrated by deleting them and re-reading the information from elsewhere.
