From: Greg KH <[email protected]> 3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Johannes Weiner <[email protected]> commit a4d3e9e76337059406fcf3ead288c0df22a790e9 upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. This patch augments an earlier commit that avoids scanning priority being artificially raised. The older fix was particularly important for small memcgs to avoid calling wait_iff_congested() unnecessarily. Without swap, anonymous pages are not scanned. As such, they should not count when considering force-scanning a small target if there is no swap. Otherwise, targets are not force-scanned even when their effective scan number is zero and the other conditions--kswapd/memcg--apply. This fixes 246e87a93934 ("memcg: fix get_scan_count() for small targets").
