Subject: [PATCH 3/4] SwapMig: Drop unused pages immediately
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2005 17:03:07 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051118010307.22328.49242.sendpatchset@schroedinger.engr.sgi.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20051118010257.22328.49524.sendpatchset@schroedinger.engr.sgi.com>
Drop unused pages immediately
If a page is encountered that is only referenced by the migration code
then there is no reason to swap or migrate the page. Release
the page by calling move_to_lru().
