From d6c438b6cd733834a3cec55af8577a8fc3548016 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 15:44:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] memcg: fix zone congestion ZONE_CONGESTED should be a state of global memory reclaim. If not, a busy memcg sets this and give unnecessary throttoling in wait_iff_congested() against memory recalim in other contexts. This makes system performance bad. I'll think about "memcg is congested!" flag is required or not, later. But this fix is required first.
