Subject[PATCH 09/10] mm: vmscan: Check if kswapd should writepage once per pgdat scan
Date
Currently kswapd checks if it should start writepage as it shrinks
each zone without taking into consideration if the zone is balanced or
not. This is not wrong as such but it does not make much sense either.
This patch checks once per pgdat scan if kswapd should be writing pages.
