[PATCH v3] staging: android: lowmemorykiller: neglect swap cached pages in other_file

From: vinayakm . list
Date: Wed Feb 26 2014 - 14:07:10 EST


From: Vinayak Menon <vinayakm.list@xxxxxxxxx>

With ZRAM enabled it is observed that lowmemory killer
doesn't trigger properly. swap cached pages are
accounted in NR_FILE, and lowmemorykiller considers
this as reclaimable and adds to other_file. But these
pages can't be reclaimed unless lowmemorykiller triggers.
So subtract swap pages from other_file.
