[PATCH 1/4] mm: vmscan: Correct use of pgdat_balanced in sleeping_prematurely

From: Mel Gorman
Date: Fri May 13 2011 - 10:04:19 EST


Johannes Weiner poined out that the logic in commit [1741c877: mm:
kswapd: keep kswapd awake for high-order allocations until a percentage
of the node is balanced] is backwards. Instead of allowing kswapd to go
to sleep when balancing for high order allocations, it keeps it kswapd
running uselessly.
