[RFC][PATCH 4/5] Memory controller soft limit refactor reclaim flags (v9)

From: Balbir Singh
Date: Fri Jul 10 2009 - 09:01:22 EST


Impact: Refactor mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim()

From: Balbir Singh <balbir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch refactors the arguments passed to
mem_cgroup_hierarchical_reclaim() into flags, so that new parameters don't
have to be passed as we make the reclaim routine more flexible
