[-mm][PATCH 7/10] prevent incorrect oom under split_lru

From: KOSAKI Motohiro
Date: Wed Jun 25 2008 - 06:09:21 EST



if zone->recent_scanned parameter become inbalanceing anon and file,
OOM killer can happened although swappable page exist.

So, if priority==0, We should try to reclaim all page for prevent OOM.
